My personal history leads to a thorough understanding of the wants and needs of our residents.

After years of hard work and collaborating with the Nicholas County Fiscal Court we now have 3 full-time Deputies and 1 part-time. Over the past 15 years I have received over 500 hours of training to continue to equip myself and my office with the knowledge, technical abilities and skills necessary to perform effectively. I pledge that we will continue to serve and protect my community at optimal levels.

Today is all about Matt Hughes! PennyandMatt Hughes

“I am Matt Hughes, a lifelong resident of Nicholas County. I am married to Penny Baker Hughes and we have four children that we raised in Nicholas County.
We have three grandchildren that we spoil every chance we get.

I have been Magistrate of District 2 for 11+ years. In those 11 years, the fiscal court has had several major accomplishments. We have been able to get the Nursing Home back up and running under new management. We have also welcomed Wednt's Wildlife, Harrison Harvesting and some other small businesses to our community.

I am a member of the Bourbon-Nicholas Economic Development Board and working diligently to get industry into Nicholas County at the Industrial Park on Carpenter Pike. Ground leveling is currently being completed, with a 12 inch water line from Millersburg to the Industrial Park to be installed this summer. A new Ambulance (EMS) Station is on the horizon as well.

If re-elected, I will continue to work diligently on these projects as well as any new ones that arise along with my normal magistrate duties. Thank you for your continued support.”
