Kentucky State Representative Keturah Herron (Leading with Conviction™ 2019) just made history as Kentucky’s first-ever LGBTQ+ woman state senator. Read more from The Advocate:
“Kentucky State Rep. Keturah Herron just became the first out LGBTQ+ woman and first queer person of color ever elected to the Kentucky state Senate.
“Herron was just announced as the winner in an unopposed race for the Senate seat. This is the second time Herron has made history, the first being elected as the first out LGBTQ+ member of the Kentucky House of Representatives in 2022.
“‘I am very humbled to continue to work for all Kentuckians as I move to the Senate,’ Herron said in a statement. “We know this work is very hard and we are at a pivotal time in our nation.'”
“I will continue to speak the truths for our people, build coalitions, and find others to run for office as well. I will do it with courage, boldness, and confidence even when the days are dark.”
