We are thrilled to announce our 2nd Annual Capitol to Campus event on April 7th at 6:00 PM in the Carl Perkins Building at EKU!

Last year, our club brought Frankfort to Richmond for an incredible conversation with Democratic legislators. They spoke to EKU students about the recent legislative session, what its like to navigate a Republican majority in both chambers, what drove them to run for office, and more.

This year, we decided to go even bigger. We’ve teamed up with the Madison County Democratic Party to open this event to the entire community! We have invited Democratic Legislators AND candidates running for state and local office here in Madison County.

Whether you want to hear about the latest legislative session or meet the candidates on the upcoming ticket, this is the place to be. Be sure to register at the link below!
