I have dedicated my career to public service at the Louisville Metro Council and look forward to putting that experience to work in Frankfort. I look forward to meeting you and listening to your concerns and ideas as I work to earn your vote.

  • Chris Lewis is a conservative Christian with decades of experience advancing conservative principles at the local, state, and federal levels of government. Chris is proud to be Pro-Life and believes in the sanctity of human life. He is also a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment and will fight to protect the rights of gun owners in Frankfort. His track record includes fighting back against liberal policies in Louisville and helping to create new methods for bringing transparency to Metro Government. Chris has the experience we need and a record of successfully protecting our values and freedoms in both City Hall and in Frankfort while also advancing a conservative agenda.
  • Chris Lewis will support our police officers as they fight crime in Louisville. Safety is Chris’ number one concern. In order to create the vibrant community that we all want Louisville to be, people must feel safe in their neighborhoods, they must feel safe coming downtown to a restaurant or an event, and they shouldn’t have to worry about getting carjacked at a stoplight. We must hold those who commit crimes accountable, and not allow liberal judges and prosecutors to keep putting criminals back on the streets. Chris’ experience in public safety includes working with law enforcement to get them the tools and training they need, while also working with those convicted of crimes to reform their lives.
  • Prioritize teachers and students. Demand improvement & accountability. Chris 100% supports school choice in Kentucky. Whether it be public, private, or home school. Chris believes that parents know what is best for their kids – not the government, a liberal school board or a teacher’s union. It is imperative that we put the power of their children’s education in the hands of the parents. This includes vouchers, charter schools and allowing education funding to follow the student. Chris believes in collaboration and effective communication. This value in team building set him apart in the political realm.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Kentucky

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
