Paducah, KY – Kentucky 3rd District Representative Brent Housman will not seek re-election. The Paducah Republican is the third western Kentucky lawmaker to announce such a decision this year. Housman says he wants to spend more time at home with his family. He has a wife and three children, and he is a financial advisor at Hilliard Lyons in Paducah. Currently, no candidates have filed to run for the seat. But Democratic City Commissioner Gerald Watkins tells the Paducah Sun he intends to file to run by the end of the week.
