Sixteenth District state Representative Jason Petire of Elkton has filed for re-election and is looking forward to the beginning of the 2022 session of the Kentucky General Assembly that begins Tuesday afternoon in Frankfort.
Petrie, a Republican, is unopposed and is seeking a fourth term.
Proposed legislative re-districting would have him representing a portion of Christian County, in addition to all of Todd and Logan, and he says he’s happy with that having grown up in northwestern Todd County.
Representative Petrie chairs the House Appropriations and Revenue Committee that begins moving the budget and says he’s more than willing to work with the governor’s office when possible.
He says funding broadband expansion and improving all types of infrastructure is a priority for him.
Criminal justice reform measures and tax reform policies are also priorities for him in 2022.
