On Tuesday, May 19, Kentucky voters headed to the polls to elect the Democrats and Republicans who will face off in November's general election. Races include those vying to replace longtime Sen. Mitch McConnell, who is retiring, to a heated primary between similarly longtime Northern Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and his Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein.

A number of local county commission and judge/executive races are also on the ballot. For coverage of those races in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties, visit this link.
