Not everyone’s happy about the redistricting. Specifically Brett Guthrie is not happy about it.
U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie, a Republican who represents the 2nd District, said he would fight any effort to move Owensboro out of his district, where it has traditionally been located.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed serving Daviess County and always look forward to my visits to the area,” Guthrie said in a statement. “I will use any influence I may have with my former colleagues in the General Assembly to maintain Daviess County in the 2nd District.”
Guthrie would lose Owensboro to Ed Whitfield and gain Jessamine County from Ben Chandler.
Chandler, of course, is sitting pretty under the plan and is almost certainly happier about it as his place gets bluer even if Ben’s mindset is, for the most part, Cardinal Red.
