Re-elect Stan Lee

There is so much I could say about state Rep. Stan Lee. From the principled leader he is in Frankfort to the role model he is as a father and husband to the example he sets as a follower of Christ, he is a great public servant who fights for his constituents in Fayette County every day.

I watched Lee’s legislative career from a distance before I knew him personally. When I was running for the House in 2012 I said that if I get elected I will always stick to the principles and values just like that Stan Lee guy in Lexington. Stan always gives thoughtful, prayerful consideration to his work to make the best decision for the people he serves and our state.

We need more people willing to serve who can be a guiding light for young leaders so they can pursue principled success in life and give back to their community just like Lee. That’s why I ask, not just as his peer in Frankfort or a friend, but as a citizen that you please return Lee to Frankfort with a resounding victory and a a mandate to put our state back on a path to prosperity.

Rep. Jonathan Shell
