Could the Russell County Circuit Court Clerk's primary determine the outcome of the State Senate Race. With two candidates, Jacky D. Burton and Jean Waddell, challenging incumbent Tony D. Kerry, Russell County may have the highest percentage turnout of any of the four counties in the 15th Kentucky Senate District. Neither Adair nor Casey County has local races, but State Senate and local elections in Pulaski County could also draw larger numbers in Pulaski. Estimates for turnout statewide are predicted at only 10-12%. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
