KENTUCKY — On this week’s ‘In Focus Kentucky’ program, we’re discussing the state of non-partisan elections in local government across the Commonwealth.

In Nov. 2024, history was made when Kentucky elected Pamela Goodwine of Lexington as the state’s first black female Supreme Court justice.

But also starting in Jan. 2025, four of the seven justices on Kentucky’s Supreme Court will be women. It’s the first time in state history the court will have more women than men. There will also be a female chief justice for the first time. 

Our Austin Schick has more about this historic change coming to Kentucky’s Supreme Court.
