| Rep. Whitfield |
Congressman Ed Whitfield, a Hopkinsville Republican, has announced his intentions to seek a 10th term representing Kentucky’s First Congressional District on Capitol Hill. No one has yet to file against the incumbent, who has held the office since 1995. If re-elected, he would become the second longest serving representative of the district. Noble J. Gregory, a Democrat, held the seat from 1937 to 1959.
In other election filings, former Congressman Carol Hubbard (D-Mayfield) has filed to run for the Senate District 1 seat in Frankfort. The seat is currently held by Crittenden County native Ken Winters, a Murray Republican. Winters has not decided if he will seek re-election to a third term.
