A Louisville Metro Council member and a former school board candidate will face off in a special election to replace former Democratic state Sen. Morgan McGarvey.
In November, McGarvey won the election for retiring Louisville Rep. John Yarmuth’s seat in Congress, beating Republican Stuart Ray by 24 points. McGarvey was first elected in 2012 to represent residents of Senate District 19, which includes parts of Louisville’s urban core and southern suburbs like Hollow Creek and Spring Mill.
