Princeton man to run for House seat

Giannini

A Princeton man has announced his intentions to seek the Kentucky House District 4 seat to be vacated by Rep. Mike Cherry at the end of his current term. Raymond Giannini, friends with his fellow Caldwell County Democrat, said he has always respected the work of politicians but never really considered a run for office until now.

“I’ve been giving this a lot of thought and prayer,” the former director of Pennyrile District Health Department said. “The support has been great, and if not for that, I wouldn’t have considered it.”
Giannini, 58, is a native and longtime resident of the House district. He is married with two children in college and one a senior in high school.

Thus far, only Lynn Bechler (R-Marion) has filed for Cherry’s seat. However, Giannini plans to make his run official by filing paperwork later this week. Each man would run unopposed in the May primary if no other candidates file.

The filing deadline is Jan. 31.
