It’s official — Casey County has a new state representative and welcomes back a well-known lawmaker as senator.
On Friday when the redistricting plan became law, Representative Danny Ford, R-Mount Vernon, joined Sen. Jimmy Higdon, R-Lebanon, in representing districts that include Casey County.
Ford replaces Rep. Terry Mills, D-Lebanon, while Higdon fills the seat held by Sen. Vernie McGaha, R-Russell Springs, who recently announced he wouldn’t run for re-election in November.
