Covington, KY — Today, Park Hills City Councilmember Sarah Froelich officially filed to run for Kenton County Commissioner, District 1, at the Kenton County Building in Covington. She filed alongside members of the Kenton County Democratic Party Executive Committee, representatives from the Northern Kentucky Labor Council, and District 2 candidate Ben Bach, marking a moment of renewed engagement and broader community involvement in county government.
“Kenton County thrives when leadership listens, prepares, and keeps people first,” Froelich said after filing. “I’m running to connect local decisions to everyday life and to work collaboratively to move our county forward.”
A Seat Untouched by Competition for Over a Decade
The District 1 commissioner seat has not seen a competitive race in more than ten years. Froelich is also the first Democratic candidate to run for this seat in over two decades, underscoring a shift in civic participation across Northern Kentucky.
