With the 2020 candidate filing deadline rapidly approaching, rumors are flying high. Among those is that Will T. Scott is flirting with running for office again.
In the mountains, there are three things that you can almost be certain of: death, taxes and Will T. running for office. After all, the former Supreme Court Justice has also sought the offices of Circuit Judge, Attorney General, Congress and Governor.
One well-placed source familiar with Eastern Kentucky politics tells us that Will T. is “gettin’ the itch” again.
The thought is that he may have his sights set on the legislature this time. Whether he would take on Senator Phillip Wheeler in a primary or Representative Ashley Tackett Laferty in a general (Wheeler and Laferty are incidentally law partners) is unknown.
One thing we know, a race is always more fun with Will T. involved!
