George Barnett Announces Re-Election Campaign for District 3 Magistrate
Friends and neighbors,
Four years ago, I came to you with a simple platform: economic development, public safety, and transparency. No fancy slogans. No empty promises. Just a commitment to work hard for the people of District 3.
Today, I'm announcing my campaign for re-election as your Magistrate—because we have unfinished business.
What We've Accomplished Together
The numbers speak for themselves. Over the last three years, Christian County has seen $2.8 billion in capital investment, more than $70 million in new state and local tax revenue, and 9,409 new jobs. That's not an accident. That's what happens when you have leadership focused on growth.
On public safety, roughly 74 cents of every tax dollar collected in Christian County goes directly to our Sheriff, jail, ambulance services, and dispatch. I fought for that because nothing matters more than keeping our families safe.
And on transparency? I promised you'd be able to see how your money is spent without jumping through hoops. Every year, I've posted our budget numbers on my Facebook page for anyone to see. Your government should work for you—not the other way around.
The Work Ahead
But I'm not done yet. As chair of the Fiscal Court's building committee, I'm proud to announce that before year's end, we'll be unveiling plans to revitalize the heart of downtown Hopkinsville.
