Hard-right PAC forms 'battle plan' to take on 'radical left' judges in 3 Kentucky races
Courier Journal
A new conservative PAC formed in Kentucky this week with a goal of reshaping "radical left" courts plans to spend up to $1.6 million on three key nonpartisan judicial races this fall with a TV ad buy starting Friday in the high-profile Franklin Circuit Court race.
Fair Courts America−Kentucky was formed Monday by chairman Doug Truax, who runs a group of conservative PACs and political nonprofits under the umbrella of Restoration of America, including Fair Courts America. Its website says Truax, an Illinois Republican, is a West Point graduate and Army veteran whose goal is to "preserve our way of life."
Truax did not respond to multiple requests for comment on the new Kentucky group this week, but The Courier Journal has obtained a strategy document described as its "battle plan" that shows the network plans to spend heavily on the Franklin Circuit race and two key Kentucky Supreme Court races.
