{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Former Pike County Circuit Court Judge and current Justice Will T. Scott has filed for re-election to the Kentucky Supreme Court, hoping to win a second term representing eastern Kentucky's 7th district. Scott filed his candidacy papers for the 2012 race with the secretary of state's office Monday. Court of Appeals Judge Janet Stumbo of Van Lear, who served on the Supreme Court until Scott defeated her in 2004, will challenge Scott for the seat. Their first race was a close one with Scott winning by just more than 2,000 votes. Scott outspent Stumbo $245,000 to $175,000.
