Bowling Green, KY (November 18, 2021) – Bowling Green optometrist Dr. Robert Duvall launched his campaign today for the Republican nomination to be the 17th District State Representative, serving Warren and Butler counties. Dr. Duvall is a proven conservative leader with the experience and relationships to deliver results in Frankfort.
“As an optometrist, I listen to patients about what’s on their minds. We talk about their health, but we also talk about our community,” said Dr. Duvall.
I’m running for State Representative to work for my neighbors and fight for each of them. We need strong conservatives who will stand up and protect what makes Warren and Butler counties such a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family.”
“We don’t need high taxes, red tape and radical calls to defund the police. Instead, let’s focus on getting Kentuckians back to work, building safe roads and crime-free neighborhoods and helping our kids learn,” Dr. Duvall continued. “That’s what I see for Kentucky’s future. My family and I are ready to make your voice heard in the State House. Visit DuvallForKY.com to learn more and join our team.”
Dr. Duvall’s announcement follows State Representative Steve Sheldon’s decision not to run for re-election.
Phyllis Causey, a well-respected Republican leader in Bowling Green, endorsed Dr. Duvall’s campaign.
“Robert has what it takes to deliver for Warren and Butler counties in Frankfort,” said Causey. “I’ve met a lot of candidates who make big promises, and I know Robert is the one with the skills and the leadership to get it done. I am proud to join his campaign and look forward to what he can do for our community.”
