2008 Elections: More 51st House candidates likely Alan Reed strongly considering the race; Wid Harris, Dwayne Loy, getting encouragement to run for Democratic nomination By Ed Waggener There were no new filings for the 51st Kentucky House District race yesterday, Tuesday, January 15, 2008. Now, with less than two weeks before the January 29, 2008, deadline, the race is between declared candidates Russell Montgomery and Asa James Swan, both Republicans. Montgomery and Swan are vigorously campaigning now. Swan made the rounds at the Columbia-Adair County Chamber meeting yesterday, and spent the afternoon Downtown and at other points in Columbia, and Montgomery is seen often around the county. Reached yesterday en route to a science conference at Hanover College, media executive Alan Reed said that he is getting a lot of encouragement to run for the office, and could announce a decision any day now. And one close associate, said, yesterday, "I think he's going to run." On the Democratic side, both Dwayne Loy and Wid Harris are getting encouragement to seek the office. It is likely an either/or for these two old pals. Either would need to camp out in Taylor County to a great extent. That's where Democrats thrive in the district. To see earlier story for comparative registrations Click Here Harris wouldn't have to risk his Second District Magisterial seat, which he appears to own for life. And he's a natural for the General Assembly. He's especially good at getting projects put where he wants them. Through two administrations, one Democratic and one Republican, he was often considered the most powerful person in county government. Loy also is a natural. He's continuously campaigning, even when he's not running for anything, as he was at the Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce meeting at Lindsey Wilson yesterday. He can be flexible in his work schedule enough to devote the time needed for a campaign, and he has important family, business and agricultural, and media ties. Democrats think that their chances are enhanced with a Democrat in the Governor's chair. They think that an growing appetite for roads projects in Adair and Taylor Counties would trump partisan loyalties, that the party will fare well in the Presidential election, and that an Adair County Democrat would get strong support from Taylor County Democrats and would cut into the Republican vote in Adair. No reports were received at ColumbiaMagazine.com yesterday on the Taylor County view, except for one ringing endorsement of the importance of Campbellsville Mayor Brenda Allen's importance in anything happening in Taylor County. "She makes things happen," a Columbia businessman with interests on Main Street in Campbellsville said yesterday while dining at the restaurant in Garlin, KY, "She's transforming Downtown Campbellsville. I would want her endorsement." Her endorsement could prove to be a deciding factor in Taylor County, just as Ann Melton's could be in Adair.
