KY-SD37: Louisville Democrats nominate local union leader to fill vacant Kentucky Senate seat
Louisville Democrats have chosen a candidate to replace former Kentucky Senate Democratic Whip David Yates.
The Louisville Democratic Party selected Gary Clemons, the president of the Steelworkers Local 1693, to run in a special election to fill the vacant seat in the 37th Senate District.
In a Monday statement about Clemons’ nomination, the local party said he was selected unanimously by the nominating committee.
“We are thrilled to have Gary representing Democrats in Senate District 37,” said Logan Gatti, the chair of the Louisville Democratic Party. “Gary is exactly the kind of leader Kentucky needs — grounded, community-driven and unafraid to fight for working families. He brings a wealth of experience, compassion and common sense to the table.”
