Democrats and Republicans continue to battle to hold on to — or gain — state legislative seats in Louisville’s suburbs ahead of the November election.
Since gaining her seat by just a 376-vote margin two years ago, Democratic Rep. Rachel Roarx says her record in office will carry her through to another win. She’s facing off against Republican Carrie Sanders McKeehan, a Jefferson County Public Schools teacher and a principal at a small Louisville Christian school that promotes a “Christian environment with a biblical worldview.”
District 38’s voter registration numbers still remain staunchly in the Democratic camp, with 55.5% registered with the party and only roughly 33% identifying as Republican.
