About this race
Contested: Clinard "Bubby" Adkins (R) faces Brian K. Epling (D) on the November 3, 2026 ballot, per the Kentucky Secretary of State's county candidate filing list. The county's fiscal court commissioners page lists Adkins under "District Two" rather than District 4 - flagged as a discrepancy between the two official sources; incumbency for Adkins left unconfirmed pending resolution of that mismatch.
What this office does
Justice of the peace. Justices of the peace handle the lowest-level court matters: small claims, evictions, traffic and minor criminal cases, and, in some states, marriages and inquests. The office is part of the judiciary, so candidates are limited in what they may promise.
