Ahart won’t seek reelection to Hopkinsville City Council

Ward 3 Hopkinsville City Councilman Don Ahart has withdrawn from seeking reelection.

In a statement to local media, Ahart says his decision is due to personal health concerns.

He says, “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many individuals that have supported me the past eleven years. I wish the city the best and look forward to its continued ‘forward movement.’”

Ahart’s departure from the ballot leaves Democrat Alethea West as the only candidate for city council in Ward 3.
