Joseph Fischer, a legislator and attorney, announced his candidacy for the Supreme Court of Kentucky’s Sixth District, which encompasses a region of Northern Kentucky stretching east to west from Lewis County to Oldham County.
He is a candidate for the Supreme Court seat held by NKyian Michelle Keller, who had held the seat for 15 years. With the pending retirement of Chief Justice John Minton, she will be the most senior judge on the court. She is running for re-election.
“After spending over two decades in the legislature advocating for common-sense conservative values, I have decided to seek election to Kentucky’s highest court,” Fischer said. “My career as an attorney and experience as a member of the House Judiciary Committee for so many years has provided me with a unique perspective regarding the needs of Kentucky’s courts. If elected, I will continue defending the rule of law and will support measures to ensure our judicial system effectively serves all citizens of our Commonwealth.”
Joseph Fischer lives in Campbell County with his wife Karen, a retired schoolteacher. He is a graduate of Holy Cross College (B.A) and the University of Cincinnati College of Law.
He has been in private law practice and moved on to a corporate legal practice to manage complex transactional and business litigation matters.
He has served in the Kentucky House of Representatives since 1998 representing District 68 in Campbell County. Fischer has successfully litigated cases before the Kentucky Supreme Court. He remains actively involved in several community organizations including Northern Kentucky Right to Life and the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy.
Joe ought to run for Pope, not Supreme Court Judge. Every decision he makes is based on his religion and the only thing he really cares about is ending Roe v Wade.
