Aaron Currin Launches Campaign for Kentucky House, Pledges Transparent, Accountable Leadership for District 65
Currin says the campaign will focus on transparency and accountability to ensure District 65 leadership works for everyone, from Covington to Edgewood.
COVINGTON, KY – Covington attorney Aaron Currin has officially filed to run for State Representative in Kentucky’s 65th House District, launching a campaign centered on transparent, accountable government, responsible long-term planning, and meeting the real needs of Kentucky families, not backroom politics as usual.
Currin says the General Assembly’s actions have focused on preserving the current power structure rather than preparing the Commonwealth for the future. He points to irresponsible state income tax cuts that shift costs onto families, cities, and counties; healthcare monopolies sustained by inaction on Certificate of Need reform; and investment decisions that favor special interests over education, housing, and infrastructure.
Combined with rising costs and recent federal funding cuts that further strain state budgets, Currin warns this approach is unsustainable and puts Kentucky families at risk.
“The future is already here, and we need to start acting like it,” Currin said. “Kentuckians deserve leaders who are honest about the challenges ahead and willing to do the work responsibly. Too often, good bills never make it out of committee because they don’t fit one party’s political agenda. That’s wrong. Elected officials work for the people, not special interests. We need a clean, evidence-based legislative process, because a good process leads to good decisions.”
Across the 65th District, Currin says voters are frustrated with politics as usual and want leadership that includes people in decision-making rather than policies that socialize risk and privatize reward.
“People here want real solutions, not slogans,” Currin added. “The values of this district and this Commonwealth weren’t written in a campaign memo. They were shaped in our schools, churches, neighborhoods, and around kitchen tables. They’re about fairness, decency, moral clarity, and showing up for one another.”
Currin previously ran for the seat in 2024, knocking on more than 14,000 doors in a grassroots, block-by-block listening campaign that outperformed the national Democratic ticket, reflecting voters’ desire for future-focused leadership over divisive politics.
“This campaign is about finding solutions and delivering results,” Currin said. “We do that by focusing on transparency, accountability, and making sure the leadership in the 65th District works for everyone, from Covington to Edgewood, by putting people ahead of special interests.”
