Governor Andy Beshear has not yet called the special election to fill the current term for the open seat.

“We have big shoes to fill with the departure of my friend, Dennis Keene,” said Rachel Roberts. “I will commit myself to continuing the legacy he has created of economic growth, community beautification, infrastructure development, and support for education and teachers. In the coming months when I am talking to voters in the district about my passion for education, training and promoting entrepreneurship, I will also be listening closely to the needs of the district. Together we will continue to have strong representation in the halls of state government in Frankfort.”

According to a release, Roberts received support from Dayton Mayor, Ben Baker, and Highland Heights City Council member, Rene Heinrich.


Roberts is owner of The Yoga Bar studios, which was also voted Best of Northern Kentucky, and she is co-owner of RAKE Strategies, a brand strategy firm.
