GRAYSON, Ky. (AP) — Republicans in two northeastern Kentucky counties have chosen Grayson businesswoman Jill York to run for an open House seat.
Carter County GOP Chairwoman Mignon (mih-NON') Colley says York, who has a local printing business, was chosen by secret ballot Tuesday night by Republicans in Carter and Lewis counties. The vote total was not released.
Democrats met Monday night and selected Barry Webb of Grayson to run for the seat, which was left open when Robin Webb was elected to the state Senate in August.
Gov. Steve Beshear has called a special election for Dec. 8 to fill the 96th Legislative District seat.
