Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

We need more representation of working class citizens in the Kentucky congress. People that know what it is like to struggle to pay bills, Representatives that support our farms. Bills that stop unwise development of our land. We need to educate OUR children in the state of Kentucky. Healthcare in our state is a joke. Kentucky needs more high paying jobs.

I am William Whalen. My friends call me Nick. I grew up in Grant County, on a small farm riding horses, a staple of Kentucky. On my father’s side I’m a fourth generation union member, 3rd in the electrical trade. My maternal grandmother owed and ran a cafe in Covington. I am a product of both public and Catholic education, public K-8, high school and college Catholic. Living in Louisville for a year and Covington for over a decade, I know the urban life of Kentucky. Now I live in Independence, in a suburb. I believe I represent a lot of Kentuckians, with my experiences, call me Nick and please vote for me.
