Three File for 26th House District

Three candidates have filed so far in the 26th House district. In the current House, this seat is held by Republican Tim Moore, but Moore will face election in the 19th district in 2012 if Stumbo's tortured map isn't thrown out by the courts.

One is Republican David Glauber, an appraiser who, in 2010, announced his intention to seek the state Senate seat currently held by Sen. Hornback before withdrawing that intention.

A second Republican, Gary Hatcher, has filed. Hatcher appears to be the Mayor of Pioneer Village.

For the Democrats, David Lee Strange will contest the seat. Strange is a retired GE employee and active in the Bullitt County community.

Last weekend, the Kentucky Club for Growth's strong anti-tax stance was recognized in the Courier Journal.

But other political experts say they aren't convinced outside groups will want to get involved, especially with public polling showing Beshear with a double-digit lead and Williams' record of occasionally supporting tax increases failing to excite conservative groups such Club for Growth or the tea party-related FreedomWorks.

"They're adamant about the 'no tax' thing," said Jennifer Duffy, a senior editor with the non-partisan Cook Political Report.

We are adamant about the 'no tax' thing, and we will continue to be the taxpayer's advocate in Frankfort.
