WHAS11’s Mark Hebert has learned that Northup is considering a run for her old congressional seat. Once again taking on John Yarmuth. There was plenty of speculation that Anne Northup might be done with statewide politics after losing her second race in a row, her defeat in the governor’s race last year. But Northup’s still got plenty of support in Louisville and it sounds like she might try to ride that support back to Washington: Anne Northup looks well rested and sounds like she’s excited about the possibility of...

Ernie Fletcher's administration, said Tuesday he plans on seeking a Kentucky congressional seat held by first-term Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth. Roberts, 35, whose resume includes stints as a federal and state prosecutor, notified the Federal Election Commission recently that he was forming a campaign committee. The move allows him to start raising money in what would be his first run for elective office.

Larry Forgy, the three-time Republican candidate for governor, resurfaced last week as campaign co-chairman for Lexington lawyer Bryan Coffman, one of three candidates in the GOP primary for Congress in the 6th District.
