Mark your calendar and plan to join your neighbors on Saturday, October 22, to clean up the neighborhood at the D9 Fall Community Cleanup.
In partnership with Brightside, volunteers will be working along the Frankfort Avenue corridor, picking up litter, working on tree wells and bus stops and generally making things brighter and cleaner. Volunteers should plan to meet at 9:00 a.m. at the public parking lot at Frankfort and Keats Avenues. The District 9 office will provide bags, gloves, tools and t-shirts on a first-come, first-served basis. You may work wherever you like in D9. If you would like to register your own neighborhood team through Brightside, please click here.
I am always happy to hear from constituents. To make meeting with me in person more convenient, I hold office hours at various places around District 9, in addition to our regular, evening D9 Community Conversations. On Tuesday, October 25th, from 10:00 a.m. – Noon, I’ll be at the St. Matthews Public Library, 3940 Grandview Avenue. Please stop by with any questions or concerns. You can also call anytime at 574-1109 or email me.

Election Day is November 8th, and it is time to make a plan to vote.
There are multiple ways to vote. If you have one of the state-law allowed excuses, you can apply for a mail-in absentee ballot or vote in person starting on October 26. If none of the excuses apply to you, you can still vote early on three designated days before November 8. Of course, you can also vote at your assigned polling place on Election Day, November 8.
Absentee Voting with Excuse
The excuses which allow you to receive and vote with a mail-in absentee ballot are here: Mail-In Absentee Voting – Elections (jeffersoncountyclerk.org). Eligible voters include, among other people, a voter who is not able to appear at the polls on Election Day or the days in-person absentee voting is conducted on the account of age, disability, or illness and a student who temporarily resides outside the county of his or her residence. The deadline to apply online for an absentee ballot is October 25, 2022. You can do that here: Home Page - Kentucky State Board of Elections.
Voters with certain excuses can also vote at the Jefferson County Election Center starting on October 26. More about that is here: In-Person Absentee Voting – Elections (jeffersoncountyclerk.org).
Early Voting
Any registered voter can vote at one of seven locations on November 3, 4 and 5 from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Locations are on this page, under “In-person No-excuse Absentee (Early) Voting”.
Election Day – November 8
Most of us will vote at our assigned polling place on Election Day, November 8, from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. You can find your polling location here: Where Do I Vote? (jeffersoncountyclerk.org)
