After Tuesday’s candidate filing deadline, the local and legislative races came into view. There will also be competitive judicial races for Northern Kentucky voters to consider.

In the Supreme Court – District 6 race, incumbent Justice Michelle Keller will face Joe Fischer, who currently serves as a Republican state representative from Fort Thomas.

Keller was appointed to the state’s highest court in 2013 by Governor Steve Beshear and was elected to a full eight-year term the following year.

The Supreme Court districts have new boundaries after legislation enacted this year. District Six is now comprised of Shelby, Oldham, Trimble, Henry, Carroll, Owen, Gallatin, Grant, Pendleton, Bracken, Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties.
