With the recount finished, Matt Lehman is the lone Democrat representing Northern Kentucky in his defeat of Terry Hatton.

“The recount in HD 67 was completed and there were no changes to the results,” said Michon Lindstrom, the director of communications for Secretary of State Michael Adams.

The final numbers are: 9,435 votes for Lehman and 9,405 votes for Hatton.

Lehman replaces Democrat Rachel Roberts, who announced last year she’d be retiring after her 2024 term.
