This week, we welcome James Kay, the Judge Executive in Woodford County, to the show. Woodford County has consistently had a very high COVID-19 vaccination rate and a relatively low COVID-19 infection rate, and we asked Judge Kay about it. Judge Kay is also a former member of the Kentucky House of Representatives, so we spoke a bit about his transition to an executive position, about running for office as a Democrat outside of an urban area, and about serving as an elected official while being a father of young children.
During the show, Jazmin and Robert discussed the special session, which wrapped up last Thursday.
