APRIL 29, 2018 VOTER’S GUIDE A guide to the choices facing Southcentral Kentucky voters in the May 22 primary election 2018 Moderated political forum featuring candidates running for the 20th District House seat Bowling Green Junior High School 6 p.m. • Thursday, May 3, 2018 Please Attend or watch LIVE video on the Bowling Green Daily News Facebook page! 2 Sunday, April 29, 2018 2018 Primary Voters’ Guide Daily News, Bowling Green, Kentucky INTRODUCTION By the Daily News In an effort to aid Warren County voters in making informed selections at the polls during the 2018 primary election May 22, the Bowling Green Daily News invited can- didates in local races to respond in writing to a standard questionnaire. More than five dozen people filed for the primary election in races that appear on the Warren County ballot, giving 2018 one of the largest groups of candidates in recent memory. More than 50 of them provided responses to the Daily News, and their answers comprise the bulk of this 2018 Primary Voters’ Guide. The Daily News has taken several steps to present the candidates as fairly as possible in this publication: • Respondents were given a word limit for their answers to each question – some candi- dates chose not to use the full length allow- ance, which is why some of the candidates’ responses are shorter than others. • Candidates in each race have been placed in alphabetical order, so there should be no perceived preference for a particular party or candidate. • The Daily News newsroom staff chose to make exceptionally minimal edits to the responses provided by the candidates. For the most part, the Daily News staff limited its edit- ing work to correcting significant typograph- ical or formatting errors, which means some spelling or grammatical errors will remain in this publication. The newspaper took this approach mainly so that our editors would not inadvertently influence, enhance or otherwise alter the candidates’ intended messages. An online version of this publication is available at bgdailynews.com. In addition, the Daily News is host- ing a public forum for candidates for the 20th District seat in the Kentucky House of Representatives at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the auditorium at Bowling Green Junior High School, 900 Campbell Lane. This free event is scheduled to feature all eight Democratic and Republican candidates running for the seat being vacated by state Rep. Jody Richards, D-Bowling Green.

WKU graduate with a degree in Information systems with a minor in Banking. Local business owner for 34 years. During that time I also worked for an area bank and major corporation serving those years in computer management. I have the experience in both the “real world” working for myself and the “corporate world” managing million dollar budgets. I also found time to serve my community for 12 years as a volunteer fireman and EMT. Currently employed by Warren Co. Board of Education, I continue to seek the office because I, like so many people, know and feel that their voices and opinions aren’t being served and are being passed over. People have voices and should be heard and answered. Warren County is growing as we all know. With this growth comes a need to be monitored and directed into what’s best for all. I can speak about and use the favorite “BUZZWORDS” dealing with “ROADS”, “FIRE DEPARTMENTS”, “TRANSPARENCY” and lets not forget about the increase of crime and drugs in the community. People have been talking about these things for 30 years but yet seem to never resolve these issues. Promise to address People’s Needs without passing the buck. Promise to vote Against Tax Increases or add on fees. Will seek out Economic Growth ……means JOBS and Higher wages. MICHAEL CLAY Promise to Tighten Government Spending ….Saving your tax dollars. Candidate for Magistrate YOUR VOTE ON MAY 22, 2018 WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
