Thursday, Nov. 21, 2019 — Though Republican Philip Bischoff was the first in Nelson County to say he would file to seek Nelson County’s 50th District seat in the Kentucky House of Representatives, Democrat and Boston resident Kory Miller was the first in Nelson County to actually file for the office.

According to Secretary of State Allison Lundergran Grimes, Miller’s paperwork was filed just after 10 a.m. at her office in Frankfort.

According to Miller’s Facebook page, he has been active in supporting the campaigns of fellow Democrats in the 2019 primary and the November General Election.

Miller was a candidate in the May 2018 primary for 50th District state representative. He lost the primary race against James DeWeese.

The filing deadline for the May primary will be a different date this year — 4 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10, 2020. Senate Bill 60 passed by the General Assembly in 2019 moved the deadline to file to the first Friday after the first Monday in January.

The May Primary is set for Tuesday, May 19, 2020.

The 2018 May Primary debate between Miller and James DeWeese is available below.
