Hold Kentucky’s Supreme Court Justices Accountable
There is ONE WAY to hold Kentucky’s Supreme Court accountable to the Constitution: vote them in or out. There are SEVEN (7) of them, they are elected BY DISTRICT in a non-partisan election. We need to take action now.
2022: FOUR (4) SCOKY Judges up for Re-Election
Districts 1, 2, 4 & 6 are up for grabs. NOW is the time to identify who will run against them.
Lobby Ky’s Supreme Court Justices
They are elected, they will respond to pressure! We DON’T want our SCOKY justices voting along party lines, we want them voting along constitutional lines.
You can email or snail mail. Far better to write to them snail mail… yes, they can trash them but they at least have to TOUCH them first. An email can be deleted and you aren’t able to write directly to a specific justice at a specific email address. Just a thought!

Know WHO your judge is (find out below)
Know WHEN s/he is up for election (also below). Put the name and election date in your calendar.
Know HOW S/HE VOTED: constitutional or along party lines? What we know for sure is that ALL of them voted to allow Beshear to continue his reign of terror!!! (Except Conley District #7, he wasn’t on the court yet.)
Know WHO IS RUNNING AGAINST your justice and how liberty-minded they are. Better still, FIND SOMEONE TO RUN AGAINST your justice!!!
