CONGRATULATIONS IN TWO POINTS WITH ONE MESSAGE
The Republic Primary In Boone County, KY And Beyond
The wins were YUGE.
Marianne Proctor received 76.47% of the votes in the Republican primary in her bid to retain the District 60 House seat. Proctor was opposed by Christopher Pavese who was heavily funded by the healthcare industry and the radical left Jefferson County Teachers Association.
Steve Rawlings received 77.45% of the votes in his bid be the Republican candidate for the Kentucky Senate District 11 seat soon to be vacated by the retiring John Shickel. Rawlings was opposed by Duane Froelicher the well Known former Florence, KY City Councilman with a history of being untruthful with his campaign assertions regarding his opponents.
Both Pavese and Froelicher refused to attend the Candidate Forum where the voters would have had a chance to hear their answers on critical issues like gender affirming care and the Certificate of Need.
TJ Roberts, 26 years old, received 74.15% of the votes in his bid to defeat C. Ed Massey for the right to run in the general election in November to fill the vacancy created by Steve Rawlings who chose to run for the Senate District 11 seat being vacated by John Schickel. Massey was heavily backed by a host of PACs, the healthcare industry, and as was the case with Christopher Pavese, the Jefferson County Teachers Association. Massey had the distinction of running a childishly, negative campaign of personal attacks directed at Mr. Roberts.
For those who are not familiar with NKY it is directly across the Ohio river from Cincinnati, OH and roughly 90 miles from Jefferson County, home of Louisville and the Jefferson County Teachers Association.
There were two other races of that deserve attention.
First, in State House District 64 just east of Boone County in Neighboring Kenton, County, Karen Campbell need just 85 votes to defeat Kim Poor Moser the Chairman of the powerful Health Services Committee and the gate keeper of potential legislation that would overturn the Certificate of Need. It was the closest race in the state’s Republican primary. Moser referred to colleagues in the House and by extension her own constituents, as “Neanderthals” because they sought to ban “gender affirming care” in children. Moser was also heavily funded by the healthcare industry throughout the Commonwealth and successfully blocked three separate bills that would have ended the practice in Kentucky. Moser was funded by just about anyone outside of her district, county, and state and virtually no one in her district..
Just 85 votes, Ms. Moser.
And then there is Thomas Jefferson.
In State House District 45 first timer Thomas Jefferson, yep, that’s his real name, defeated incumbent Killian Timoney. District 45 is bordered by the western segment of State Highway 4 which loops around Lexington and at the southern edge of the District is Wilmer, home of Asbury University site of the January 2024 revival which gained global attention. Jefferson campaigned on the fact that Timoney, like Kim Poor Moser voted against Senate Bills 83 and 150 when they were presented to the House. Both would have banned “gender affirming care” in children. Jefferson defeated Timoney by 72-28%.
Point number 1 and a little bit of Point 2
In these races, money was irrelevant but character was not. In these races character mattered far more than money. For example, Marianne Proctor was outspent by a whopping $14,000. In a primary for a house seat in Kentucky $14,000 qualifies as “whopping”.
And the Character issue? If you have the opportunity to meet any of the victors you’ll understand it immediately.
Point number 2
The victors, by the way I’m including Karen Campbell in the “victors” column, are all people of faith who understand the inherent wrong in supporting transgenderism in children AND they all understand the US Constitution and use it and their faith as their lantern.
Point number 2 is what makes these people dangerous to the left and to the Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing, otherwise known as RINOs. The Victors will be disparaged. Their lives in Frankfort will be made “difficult” because they are more than any, the tip of the spear of political earthquake in the Commonwealth.
The Message
The PEOPLE have spoken; not the pacs, not the monied special interests, NOT Mitch McConnell but the people of Kentucky. And here is our message:
There will be no more mandates to force people to be vaccinated or lose their jobs; no more useless, false public health requirements like forced mask wearing which has no basis in science; no more lockdowns of our businesses and schools AND IN PARTICULAR our churches. Kim Moser — we will ban “gender affirming care” aka child abuse in children. Child abuse, Ms. Moser, is really how a Neanderthal behaves. We will see the Certificate of Need eliminated.
To Steve, Marianne, TJ, Mr. Jefferson, and my new friend Chet and my old friend Jessie:
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. John 10:10-12
Be the Good Shepard.
A special note to Karen Campbell. Well done! I expect to see you in 2026 with a margin of victory just like that of Steve, Marianne, TJ, and, of course, Thomas Jefferson.
And Finally, A note to my long time readers from around the country who are wondering why I’ve spent so much time on these particular races in this particular county:
WATCH THIS SPACE
Union, Kentucky

Yes and amen to all you wrote Larry - and a message to we the people who placed our trust in these public servants: pray for these folks. Get on their mailing lists so that we can stay informed and pray accordingly. Contact them and let them know you’re praying for them.
“The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” - James 5:16
What a difference a river can make. I live on the other side and know little about these people. But it sounds like rationality and ethics are prevailing there. Not so much, on my side of the river.
