Charlene King

Candidate for County Judge/Executive

I was born and raised on a small dairy/tobacco farm in the Static Community in Clinton County.

I had the honor to be the first female to be elected County/Judge Executive in Clinton County and the first judge ever to be re-elected to consecutive terms from 1994-2002.

I’ve always worked hard and served on over 10 boards and commissions. I was honored to have been appointed by three different governor’s to serve Kentucky in various positions. In 2001 my fellow Kentucky judges voted me the “County Judge/Executive of the Year.”

My administration concentrated on jobs and education, and with the help and hard work of many others, we were able to do great things for our county, some of which are: Cagles/Keystone plant, Learning Center/Library, Early Childhood Center, KCTCS, Clinton County Hospital expansion, the emergency services building which helped Air Evac to locate in the county, built the industrial park, helped local businesses, purchased new ambulances and fire trucks, and purchased the land where the new fire station will be built.

I believe it is important to have an industrial site ready in order to attract business.

My priority again will be on jobs that pay a living wage and education. Education and training opportunities for people of all ages can only make us a better and more prosperous community.

I’m also very encouraged, and humbled, by all the people from Clinton County who worked so hard when I was judge to serve in those positions that helped Clinton County so much, saying that they are willing to help again.

I still have many friends and contacts, both in Frankfort and Washington, who will help me help Clinton County.

I ask for your vote and promise that I will work as hard as I did before to move our county forward for all our citizens.

Travis Denney

Candidate for Sheriff

I’m 44 years old and have been married to Juli Denney for 23 years; we have two children, Trevor and Sydne Denney. My father and mother-in-law are Randall and Letha Amonett. I’m a member of Westview Christian Church and Albany Masonic Lodge 206.

I joined the United States Army in 1988 after graduating high school and served 22 years retiring at the rank of Sergeants Major (E-9). I served as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division. I have been a Fire Team Leader, Squad Leader, Platoon Sergeant, Rifle Company 1st Sergeant and Operations Sergeant Major. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for actions in the Korengall Valley Afghanistan.

While in the military, I served with the Counter Drug Program where I assisted in drug investigations working with numerous state and federal law enforcement agencies.

As your Sheriff I will be a good steward of the taxpayer’s money. My leadership abilities have been proven on and off the battlefield. I will use those abilities with a “can do” attitude to serve and protect the taxpaying productive citizens of our county.

My goal is to fight the theft, prescription drug abuse, and meth problems that plague this county. I will be an active leader in the county and schools, making it safer for our children.
