Mark Hebert has the scoop.
House Speaker Jody Richards has confirmed that 95th district Rep. Brandon Spencer (D) Prestonsburg, has resigned from his House seat which just happens to be Stumbo’s old house district. Richards says Spencer sent a resignation letter to Governor Beshear this afternoon and a copy was forwarded to the Speaker’s office. Beshear will now set a date for a special election with democrats and republicans in Floyd County deciding who their respective nominees will be.
Will Stumbo head back to the State House? Why else would Brandon “I’m Running Again” Spencer resign? We hear he’s been given a nice state job as a consolation prize.
Stumbo’s “campaign” is making an announcement tomorrow morning, according to the OAG.

Maybe he was just scared off by Chuck Meade.

Chuck Meade wouldn’t have had a chance running against Spencer or Stumbo!

Chuck who? Oh, you mean Chuck Meade the guy that Spencer beat after signing on the ticket just prior to the filing deadline. Spencer gave Chuckie a headstart and he still could not win. It sounds like he has powerful friends alright.

Spencer is a good canidate but he is not running. Chuck took his eye off the ball but that won”t happen again. Chuck understmated Spencer but this time he is in to win.

With all do respect. Do you really think Chuckie even has a platform to run on? Why would he even attempt to run again. Sure, he is an alright guy but that does not make him a good politician. I have heard some politicians grow and some swell and I think Chuckie is very bloated.

You ar right. Chuck has a platform and needs to let the voters know. when he served he had several projects going but didn”t inform the voters. Chuck wants introduce legeslation to benifit Floyd county and KY. not A SELECT GROUP..
