by Clifton Rogers
The University of Kentucky College of Law is well represented in the political sphere and leadership of the state of Kentucky. Several of the candidates on the ballot today are alumni of the law school including: Ryan Quarles running to be the Commissioner of Agriculture, Allison Ball running to be the Treasurer, and Janet Stumbo running for the Kentucky Supreme Court. Ryan Quarles and Allison Ball both won their respective elections.
The state’s current governor Steve Beshear is a graduate and four of the ten members of the Kentucky federal delegation graduated from the UK Law School. These are: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Representatives Andy Barr, Harold Rogers, and Ed Whitfield. The UK College of Law continues its longstanding tradition of fostering public service.
