Judge-Executive Files Candidacy For Congress

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Boone County Judge-Executive Gary Moore, who could draw tea party support with his platform of lower taxes and smaller government, filed candidacy papers in Frankfort Monday, becoming the first candidate to officially file for the congressional seat being vacated by retiring U.S. Representative Geoff Davis. Republicans Thomas Massie of Vanceburg, a judge-executive in Lewis County, and state Representative Alecia Webb-Edgington of Fort Wright have said they intend to run for the 4th District seat. Davis has represented the district stretching from Louisville's eastern suburbs to the West Virginia border since 2005.
