Louisville's referendum on Republican lawmakers may come with a cost | Exclusive

The Republican state representative from Fisherville, a neighborhood in eastern Louisville, won his race by just 100 votes after sweating through an election night that began with a huge drop of early voting ballots favoring William "Woody" Zorn, his Democratic challenger.

Hodgson earned another two-year term in the state House, but he'll return to Frankfort in 2027 as the lone GOP representative whose district is contained solely within Jefferson County. Five House Republicans from the region were ousted by local voters in the Nov. 3 elections, along with two state senators. Those lawmakers – Reps.

Julie Raque Adams and Lindsey Tichenor – were able to be in the room in recent years with leaders from the GOP supermajorities as they crafted critical legislation and funding measures, Hodgson said.
