COURTESY POST: Austin Dupre for Simpsonville City Commission

My name is Austin Dupré and I am running for re-election as your Simpsonville City Commissioner.

Simpsonville is a special place to live with a great sense of community. It is where we chose to raise our family. As your city commissioner, I will work to maintain our small-town character. I will keep taxes low and will promote conservative values.

I would appreciate your vote on November 3rd.

We had another amazing Candidate Forum at the Stratton Center in Shelbyville!

We started the evening with the Commonwealth Policy Center presenting its Friend of the Commonwealth Awards to some fantastic legislators!

CPC honored Kentucky State Senator (District 7) Aaron Reed, Kentucky State Representative (District 58) Jennifer Decker, and Kentucky State Representative (District 33) Jason Nemes for their good work on behalf of the Commonwealth.

Congratulations to these outstanding legislators! We appreciate your dedication and service to Kentucky! 🇺🇸

Then it was on to our Candidate Forum! Our Republican candidates for Shelbyville Mayor, Simpsonville Mayor, Shelbyville City Council, Simpsonville City Commissioner, School Board Districts 1 & 4, and County Coroner showed up with a mission . . . to win!

They came prepared to share their campaign messages and answer questions from the crowd. Everyone did a great job!

Shelby County is truly blessed to have such wonderful Republican candidates willing to step up and run for local government offices.

Thank you to all of the candidates and to everyone who attended last night’s forum. We appreciate your time, your participation, and your support!

Please remember to vote on November 3rd!!! 🇺🇸
