RUNNING FOR THE DISTRICT 20 SEAT MARK JENIFER, METRO COUNCIL DISTRICT 20 STRETCHES FROM THE SUBURBS OF JEFFERSONTOWN TO THE RURAL SOUTHEASTERN CORNER OF JEFFERSON COUNTY. REPUBLICAN STEWART BENSON HAS A LOT OF NAME RECOGNITION THERE, HAVING BEEN IN OFFICE SO LONG, BUT DEMOCRAT MARITA WILLIS BELIEVES REDISTRICTING AND CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS HAVE MADE THE DISTRICT A LITTLE MORE PURPLE, WHICH SHE SAYS COULD WORK IN HER FAVOR. I AM A LIFELONG LOUISVILLIAN. I맥스카지노�VE LIVED IN THIS COMMUNITY DISTRICT 20 FOR OVER 40 YEARS, AND WHEN I LOOK AT THE THINGS THAT ARE CHANGING OUT HERE AND I맥스카지노�M THINKING, WOW, MORITA, YOU ARE A CHANGE AGENT. IN ADDITION TO HER BANKING CAREER, DEMOCRAT RITA WILLIS HAS SERVED LOUISVILLE IN MANY WAYS, INCLUDING AS THE FORMER CHAIR OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY FESTIVAL. I JUST FINISHED MY TERM AS THE BOARD CHAIR OF MSD. I WAS THE BOARD CHAIR OF THE LOUISVILLE WATER COMPANY. I AM ALSO NOW THE BOARD CHAIR OF THE NORTON HOSPITAL CHILDREN맥스카지노�S FOUNDATION, SO I THINK THAT HAS GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP MY LEADERSHIP SKILLS TO BECOME MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE WHOLE, NOT JUST ONE PARTICULAR PART OF LOUISVILLE. HER TOP PRIORITIES INCLUDE IMPROVING THE DISTRICT맥스카지노�S INFRASTRUCTURE AND BRINGING A GREATER DIVERSITY OF HOUSING TO THE AREA. HOUSING DOESN맥스카지노�T JUST LOOK LIKE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSING ANYMORE, RIGHT? WE HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT FAMILIES AND PEOPLE AREN맥스카지노�T ALWAYS RUSHING TO PURCHASE THEIR FIRST HOME. TO GET INTO MY OWN APARTMENT. RIGHT. AND IF I맥스카지노�M A SINGLE PARENT WITH MULTIPLE CHILDREN, SOMETIMES THAT맥스카지노�S WHAT I맥스카지노�M LOOKING FOR. REPUBLICAN STEWART BENSON맥스카지노�S CAREER INCLUDED FACTORY WORK AT GE AND TEACHING HIGH SCHOOL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION. ONE OF THE THINGS I USED TO ALWAYS TELL MY STUDENTS, NOBODY맥스카지노�S GOT A MONOPOLY ON IDEAS. I MEAN, YOU GET A FEW PEOPLE TOGETHER AND YOU CAN BE SURPRISED THE IDEAS THAT WILL COME UP, BENSON SAYS HE PRIDES HIMSELF ON HIS ABILITY TO LISTEN TO CONSTITUENTS AND TROUBLESHOOT THEIR PROBLEMS. I MEAN, I맥스카지노�VE HAD I GET TOWN HALL MEETINGS AND PEOPLE, I WALK OUT AND PEOPLE SAY, BOY, THOSE PEOPLE ARE MAD AT YOU. I SAID, I DIDN맥스카지노�T GET THAT. AND THEY SAID, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THEY WAS HOLLERING? I SAID, DID YOU LISTEN TO HIM? HE SAID, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THEY SAID, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I SAID, THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT GOVERNMENT. ALTHOUGH I MAY BE REPRESENTING GOVERNMENT, BUT THEY맥스카지노�RE TALKING ABOUT THEY맥스카지노�RE RIGHT. GOVERNMENT SCREWED UP. AND WHEN IT COMES TO DEVELOPMENT, HE SAYS HE맥스카지노�LL CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR BETTER ROADS AND MORE ADVANCED PLANNING. IF YOU LISTEN TO PEOPLE, THEY맥스카지노�LL SAY THEY DON맥스카지노�T LIKE DEVELOPMENT. AND IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT ARE THEY SAYING, THEY DON맥스카지노�T LIKE GRIDLOCK. THEY DON맥스카지노�T WANT TO SIT IN TRAFFIC FOR 30 MINUTES TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE. AND SO WHEN I FIRST GOT IN OFFICE, I ASKED THE GUY WHO맥스카지노�S HEAD OF PUBLIC WORKS, I SAID, CAN YOU SHOW ME THE NEXT 50 YEARS OF ROADS? BY THE NUMBERS, BENSON HAS THE ADVANTAGE. THERE ARE ALMOST 12,000 REGISTERED REPUBLICANS IN DISTRICT 20, VERSUS ABOUT 1
