Massie resigns to focus on congressional campaign

Wayne Allen

PDT Staff Writer

Lewis County, Ky., Judge-Executive Thomas Massie has resigned effective midnight Saturday.

In an interview with the Associated Press Massie said he was resigning to focus on his 4th District congressional campaign. As a Republican, Massie will face Democrat William R. “Bill” Adkins in the November General Election for the 4th Congressional District seat.

Massie submitted his resignation letter to Gov. Steve Beshear, who will appoint a successor.

According to Ben Harrison, Chairman of the Lewis County Republican Party, the county fiscal count meet on Tuesday and appointed magistrate Milt Stanfield to serve as interim county judge executive.

“He will serve as interim judge-executive until the governor’s appointee takes office. It’s likely the governor will make his appointment in the next week or two,” Harrison said. “Since Thomas resigned before August 6th that triggers a special election in November, for which each party will chose their own nominees.”

Harrison said the county Republican party will meet in the next two or three weeks to choose a nominee for the November special election.

According to www.thomasmassie.com, “In 2010, Massie won the race for Lewis County Judge Executive.”

The 4th Congressional District is comprised of Greenup, Lewis, Bath, Boone, Boyd, Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Carter, Elliott, Fleming, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Henry, Kenton, Mason, Nicholas, Oldham, Owen, Pendleton, Robertson, Scott and Trimble counties.

Now He's the Guru Developer for all of SE Ohio? He's just the reporter to the reporters once removed just cause he got an audience with the Governor, once or twice? We all could have reported on the Web page up-date. Ain't he the one who served the sitting president in his establishment the only reason he gets these sound bites. Tell that $2 million for improving you property goodby Mr. Albrecht, just like the City's $2 million on the Marting's building. Just be blessed with those Tax Abatement's you have that the home owners are subsidizing you with like the rest of the business community. Wasn't he run out of Athens a real progressive happenin' town? Look at Athens' Master Plan on the net and you can get a CD, Mr Albrecht. Don't just be a reporter developer like the rest of them. What's that song title, "Rise up O' Men of God?"
