District 5

<p>Hardin County's own zoning rules are making our housing shortage worse, and I want to fix that by removing barriers to the kinds of homes — duplexes, senior housing, adaptive reuse — that fit between a single-family house and a big apartment complex.</p>

<h4>Campaign Kick-Off</h4>

<p>Jail costs have driven county general fund transfers up 76% statewide since 2019, and that's not a spending problem Fiscal Court created — it's a bill Frankfort needs to pay.</p>

<h2>Fiscal Responsibility & Jail Cost Reform</h2>

<p>Smart growth in Hardin County means preserving farmland, filling in what we've already built instead of sprawling further out, and backing homegrown small businesses and clean energy jobs — not chasing outside developers at any cost.</p>

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

<h2>Green Economic Development</h2>

<p>Hardin County is Kentucky's largest community without fixed-route public transportation, and one in six residents surveyed don't own a car — I want to be the Fiscal Court champion who finally gets our county's already-drafted transit plan built, with federal dollars covering the cost instead of local taxpayers.</p>

<h2>Expanding Public Transportation Options</h2>

<p>Hardin County has the basics — trash pickup, a landfill, seven drop-off recycling sites — but I want to modernize it: more materials accepted, more convenient access than a special trip across town, and real wastewater solutions for rural neighborhoods not on a sewer line.</p>

<h2>Public Sanitation &amp; Expanded Recycling</h2>

<h4>Event title here</h4>

<p>All <a href="https://www.hardincountyky.gov/391/Magistrate-District-Map" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">eight magistrate seats</a> in Hardin County will be contested this year — political challengers have filed to run against every incumbent in the upcoming election.</p>

<h4>Challengers aim to unseat incumbents in every district</h4>

<p>Our rural villages — Cecilia, Glendale, Rineyville and Stephensburg — have real identities worth protecting, and I'd rather see them shape their own futures than let development pressure make those decisions for them.</p>

<h2>Protecting Rural Villages &amp; Promoting Agritourism</h2>

<p>Before a data center developer ever picks Hardin County, I want zoning, water, and ratepayer protections already on the books — not written in a panic once the bulldozers show up.</p>

<h2>Regulating AI Data Centers</h2>

<p>Name a public park in unincorporated Hardin County. You can't — because there isn't one, and that's a gap I intend to close.</p>

<h2>Parks &amp; Public Spaces for All</h2>
