Attorney General Russell Coleman announced his appointments to the first-ever Child Support Advisory Council last week.

The council, which includes Kenton County Attorney Stacy Tapke, is made up of 10 county attorneys from across the commonwealth. It will assist the attorney general’s office in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the Department of Child Support Services.

Coleman created the council by executive order earlier this year.

He introduced the council and its members in Lexington during the final day of the annual Kentucky Prosecutors Conference. He was joined by Amy Burke, who has been named the first-ever Chief of Child Support for the Office of the Attorney General.

Coleman praised the group for taking on what he called a “no-fail mission.”

“They come from counties large and small, from communities in the East to the far West,” Coleman said. “But they all share a common commitment to serving our kids and strengthening the financial stability of Kentucky families.”

The child support advisory council will include:

  • Clay County Attorney – Joseph White
  • Fayette County Attorney – Angela Evans
  • Grayson County Attorney – Jeremy Logsdon
  • Jefferson County Attorney – Mike O’Connell
  • Kenton County Attorney – Stacy Tapke
  • Logan County Attorney – Joseph Ross
  • Madison County Attorney – Jennie Haymond
  • Marshall County Attorney – Jason Darnall
  • McCracken County Attorney – Cade Foster
  • Spencer County Attorney – Corey Thomas
