Candidate spotlight
Candidate for: U.S. Senate
Party: Republican
Anissa Catlett is a Northern Kentucky native and an alumna of Lloyd Memorial & Walton-Verona High Schools.
Catlett and her husband have been together for 35 years, and they have four children. For over 20 years, Catlett said, she has built a successful and results-driven career in sourcing and supply chain management.
Though she now calls Central Kentucky home, she said her NKY roots run deep. Catlett said she is stepping up as a grassroots candidate for the U.S. Senate because she knows she will be the people’s voice, representing them, not banks or corporations.

Catlett said she believes the job of serving the people is a profound honor, one that requires constant engagement to stay truly connected to everyday lives. She said Kentuckians deserve better than the disconnect they have experienced over the last 40 years, and you deserve more than the empty “sales pitches.”
The Republican candidates in the May 19 primary are: Andy Barr, Daniel Cameron, Anissa Catlett, James Duncan, Michael Faris, Valerie Fredrick, Jonathan Holliday, Jimmy Leon, Nate Morris, A. Nick Shelley, George Washington and Donald Wenzel.
Long-time incumbent Mitch McConnell is not seeking reelection.
She believes in a government that practices fiscal conservatism and respects the boundaries of limited government.
“My entire platform is my dedication to the U.S. Constitution,” Catlett said. “I stand by it as a cohesive, indivisible foundation. I believe embracing one part while ignoring another violates its integrity as the supreme law of the land.”
