<p>Hello Woodford County! <strong>My name is James Kay. I'm a lifelong Woodford Countian</strong>, attorney, public servant, and proud husband to Cara and dad to three children, Kieran, Kyan, and Isla James.</p><p><strong>Like many of you, I take pride in calling Woodford County home. That's why, since becoming your Judge/Executive in 2019, I've worked hard every day to make my home an even better place to live, work, and raise a family. </strong>And together, we've strengthened our economy, invested in all our communities from Midway to Nonesuch, protected taxpayers, and preserved the charm that makes our county the greatest county in the universe.</p><p><strong>I believe the best days of Woodford County are still ahead of us, </strong>and I look forward to continuing to work alongside all of Woodford County to build a strong future for our children, our families, and generations to come.</p><p>Your Judge,</p>
