New Campaign Finance Laws Take Effect
On July 15, 2026, several changes to Kentucky’s campaign finance laws included in HB 136 and HB 139 from the 2026 Legislative Session will go into effect. One of those changes that stands out is that campaign funds may now be used to cover the reasonable cost of security measures. This includes both during and after an election.




Picture this,
Back yard evening barbecue in New Orleans. Mixed race group, 4 children ages 4-10.
Projector screen & sound system with Strange World running,
Less than 40 min later children so board with awful movie they’ve all gone inside to play and adults (also board with bad movie) are playing other videos on their phones and talking about putting music on and flushing Strange World down the digital virtual toilet. Special note, some attendees are gay/bi and also hate the movie.
