Son Of Former U.S. Representative Considers Run

{Florence, Kentucky}...K. Lance Lucas, who practices law in Florence, Kentucky and is the son of former U.S. Representative Ken Lucas, says he will decide later this month whether to seek the Republican nomination for the seat his father held as a Democrat from 1998 to 2005. Current U.S. Representative Geoff Davis has said he won't run again. Lucas says his qualifications for the office include service in the military and a background in business. He served as an Air Force pilot in the 1990s during Operation Desert Storm and is a partner in the law firm Lucas & Dietz. Two other Republicans, Boone County Judge-Executive Gary Moore and State Representative Alecia Webb-Edgington of Fort Wright, have filed for the seat. The deadline for filing is January 31st.
