FRANKFORT — With little? more than a month before the election filing deadline, a few more candidates have signed papers seeking election to the Kentucky General Assembly and U.S. Congress.

The deadline is Jan. 5, 2024 to file to appear on the primary election ballot. Next year, Kentucky voters will decide who will represent them in Frankfort and Washington D.C. and in local offices. Americans will also be electing a president next year.

Since the previous roundup, several more candidates have filed, including Republican U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie for reelection to Congress and former Democratic State Rep. Mary Lou Marzian for the state House.

As of Thursday, Nov. 30, these candidates have filed with the Kentucky secretary of state to run in the May 21 primary.?
