On this week's show, your host, Justin Mog, sits down with Shannon Fauver, who is running for District Court Judge in Louisville (http://FauverForJudge.com). You will see her on your Primary ballot here in Jefferson County on Tuesday, May 17th. Shannon is a mother, an advocate, and a Peace Corps Volunteer who served in Morocco in the late 1990s. After graduating from UofL's Brandeis School of Law, she opened her own law practice and has represented over 3,000 clients across Jefferson County, everywhere from downtown Traffic Court to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Though the Primary Election is on Tuesday, May 17th, Early In-person Voting will be available to all on the Thursday-Sunday prior, May 12th, 13th & 14th, at six locations:
1) The Jeffersonian on Taylorsville Rd. in Jeffersontown

Kentucky District Court 30 is one of 60 district courts in Kentucky. It serves Jefferson County. The judges of the Kentucky District Courts are elected in nonpartisan elections. They serve four-year terms and must run for re-election if they wish to serve again. All candidates participate in nonpartisan primaries. If more than two candidates compete in a race, the two with the highest number of votes advance to the general election in November. In this race, there are three candidates: Shannon Fauver, Megan McDonald, and Jacob E. Elder.

Forward Radio does not endorse Shannon Fauver or any other candidate for public office. What we endorse is an informed electorate. We offer equal air time to all registered candidates for any given seat.
