for Kentucky House District 42

I am Keturah Herron, a proud Kentuckian, youth and justice advocate and former policy strategist for the ACLU of Kentucky. Raised in Richmond, KY, I have worked in various locales across the Commonwealth and country serving young people. It’s through their stories, dreams and challenges that I found a love for policy.

During my time at ACLU, I worked with both local and state Republican and Democrat leaders to pass the following legislation:

• Breonna’s Law, banning no-knock warrants in the city of Louisville, passed unanimously in 17 days.
• School safety for children, the expungement of criminal records for non-violent offenders, and restricting warrants authorizing entry without notice.
• Restoration of voting rights (as broadly possible).
• SB4 - a version of Breonna’s Law creating limits on no-knock warrants across the Commonwealth.

Community-centered, I believe the people are the backbone of a thriving community. My job is to work for the people, designing policies that will help all of us rise. While serving in the House, I am committed to working on voter rights/restoration, violence prevention/child abuse, increasing the minimum wage, criminal justice reform and education/workforce issues. These are big goals; however, I am a visionary with a proven track record of getting things done. I am a firm believer that by working together in the spirit of collaboration, we can help build a better Kentucky.
