Family Court Division 7—Denise Brown is the former Executive Director of the Louisville-Jefferson County Human Relations Commission, work which gave her professional experience with the Louisville Civil Rights Ordinance. C-FAIR has been instrumental in increasing the diversity of the Jefferson District and Circuit Courts over the past several years, as we believe the courts for Louisville should reflect the diversity of our community. Currently, the Jefferson County Family Court does not share that diversity; Denise’s election to Family Court would be another positive step towards full inclusion in Jefferson County's courts.
Family Court Division 8—Danny Kang is an experienced family law litigator with an acute sense of the effects socio-economic inequality has in our community. Danny's passion for public service, justice, and fair treatment of all would benefit the court immensely and, as Kentucky's first Asian American elected official, he would add much-needed diversity to Family Court, which, again, does not currently reflect the full community it serves.
District Court Division 1—Nichole Taylor Compton's dedication to juvenile justice and advocacy on behalf of those with mental disabilities earns her the C-FAIR nod. Her sensitivity to vulnerable populations and passion for a swift path to justice should serve the community well.
District Court Division 2—Amber Wolf will be an innovative and attentive addition to District Court. Her desire to think outside the box and seek to address root problems with creative solutions, coupled with her conviction that treating people with respect is the key to being an effective judge, will serve the court well.
District Court Division 12—Judge Eric Haner is a life-long Louisville resident and longtime supporter of Fairness and other legal charitable movements, such as CASA and Legal Aid. With nineteen years of trial experience, Judge Haner was appointed by Governor Steve Beshear to fill the vacancy in District Court Division 12. C-FAIR concurs with Governor Beshear, that Judge Haner is the most qualified to serve that seat on the bench.
Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council At-Large—Councilman Steve Kay has helped lead the charge for Lexington to adopt Domestic Partner health benefits for LGBTQ government employees and is a strong supporter of Fairness and equity for all Lexington residents. He and two others receive strong C-FAIR support for the three available At-Large Council seats.
Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council At-Large—Richard Moloney, a former Council member, was one of the original votes for the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Fairness Ordinance when it passed in 1999. He has a particular sensitivity to underprivileged and underserved communities and a demonstrated commitment to helping lift the voices of all people.
Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council At-Large—Councilman Kevin Stinnett is a supporter of LGBTQ civil rights who has been an outspoken advocate for private businesses to adopt their own Domestic Partner benefits for LGBTQ workers. Serving as Vice Chair of both the Budget and Finance Committee and the Economic Development Committee, he has a keen sense of the inner workings of local government and funding civic improvement.
