Incumbent Steve Doan, first elected to Kentucky’s House District 69 in 2022, defeated Democratic challenger Wilanne Stangel Tuesday.

Doan’s legislative record includes efforts to bolster affordable housing by reducing regulatory burdens on builders and support for a proposed constitutional amendment to allow lawmakers to fund private education with public funds.

Doan “is running for reelection because it’s time that the legislature aggressively advances conservative public policy,” his campaign website says. 

Across the political aisle is Stangel, a mother and grandmother who said in response to LINK nky’s candidate survey that she ran for the 69th District to unite the community.
