Education a priority in this Central Kentucky House district. Where the candidates stand

Two candidates who ran unopposed in their primaries will face each other for a Kentucky House district that covers part of Fayette and Jessamine counties, and both candidates see education as a key legislative issue. Incumbent Rep. Matt Lockett, a Republican, will face challenger Ryan Stanford on Nov. 3. House District 39 covers part of Fayette and Jessamine counties. It’s a rematch of the 2024 race for this seat. Matt Lockett, republican Lockett first assumed office in 2021. A Republican born in Paducah, Lockett is a senior financial adviser at Family Wealth Group , a wealth management group in Central Kentucky and eastern West Virginia.

The representative voted to expand school choice, open funding for public charter schools,
