Russell Montgomery files for Representative COLUMBIA, ADAIR CO., KY POLITICS Short list of Adair County names included, below. Additions to list requested. By Ed Waggener Adair County native Russell Montgomery, Campbellsville, KY, has filed for State Representative from the 51st Kentucky House District, comprised of Adair and Taylor Counties, this time as a Republican.Montgomery, who is retired after a career with the Campbellsville, KY, Coca-Cola Bottling Company, had previously sought the office as a Democrat. To check the latest filings everyday, we've posted a link in the "Today" section to Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson's web page with links to Kentucky filings for President of the United States, U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, State Senator, State Representative, Justice of the Supreme Court, Judge of the Court of Appeals, and District Judge races. Political junkies can use the link throughout the day to follow updates there. To check the page, Click Here. There is no certain word received here yet on the plans of incumbent Rep. Russ Mobley. Conflicting reports are being received. He's told at least one high Republican official that he is going to seek re-election, but recent word from Taylor County is that the general feeling there is that he won't run. If Mobley doesn't run, some Republican leaders there are looking for a younger candidate, in the mold of former Rep. Ray Altman, and suggest the possibility of university professor Max Wise, but the timing may not be right for him. In both county's there is high support for a possible candidacy for former Taylor County Court Clerk Randall Phillips. So far, few names of Adair County Republicans as possible candidates are heard. CJE Ann Melton, whom many consider to be the strongest for the post, is enjoying being the top official in Adair County too much to run for Representative. Several other strong leaders come to mind as Adair County Republican candidates, including former CJEs Jerry Vaughan and Jimmy Firquin, Phyllis Firquin, civic leader Jason Corbin, CJE administrative Lisa Lee, former Columbia-Adair County Chamber President Richard Phelps,minister, , Elbert Hadley, Adair County Republican Chairman Benton Fudge (if he's old enough), oilman Jimmy Reliford, businessman Danny Waggener, civic leader Larry Legg, Lindsey Wilson Public Affairs Director Duane Bonifer, former Appalachian Regional Commissioner Hilda Legg, and former Adair County Attorney Ray Hutchison, former Adair County Sheriff Bill Ballou. In Adair County, names most frequently mentioned as Democratic candidates are former Magistrate J.M. Shelley, former Adair County Judge Richard L. Walker, and broadcast executive Allan Reed. Other names of individuals who would have the standing to make strong candidates for State Representative are banker Robert Flowers, Magistrate Wid Harris, horse industry leader Tommy Grider, Democratic women's leader Martha Martin, insurance executive Dwayne Loy attorney Marshall Loy, Magistrate Joe Rogers, Deputy PVA Donna Feese, retired police Capt. Jim Evans, construction CEO Lewis Garrison, radio newsman Larry Smith (who spends most of his time in Adair County, but who lives in Taylor), environmental guru A.L. Sinclair, Deputy Kentucky Finance Commissioner Bobby Bowe, farm leader Danny Wilkerson, construction executives Junior Stotts, civic leader Sue Stivers, popular family physician Dr. Chuck Giles, printing executive and editorialist Ralph Waggener, or banking and agriculture leader Curt Yarberry or his brother V.T. Yarberry, a highly respected retired Farmers Home Administration leader. So far, only former Magistrate J.M. Shelley is known to be showing a great the race, among local Democrats. Democrat Butch Wheatley is the most often mentioned possible Democratic candidate form Taylor County. He was the party's nominee in 2006.
