Brennan Lippert completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Lippert's responses.
| Collapse all
- Support the merger of the City of Frankfort and Franklin County into a single Urban County Government utilizing KRS67A. Stop paying for two governments in one area. This measure will be focused on reducing wasteful spending and confusion on duplicate parallel law enforcement, fire protection, infrastructure maintenance and school service budgets, and providing unified executive leadership to all citizens. It is wasteful, expensive and confusing to have two competing governments operating in the same service areas.
- Fight for radical government transparency. Police should be fully accountable. Work to mandate that all city law enforcement must wear bodycams, and that all recordings must be made available to the public and the media upon request without administrative roadblocks. Legislature should be held to a higher standard. Mandate that all city commission meetings are recorded, publicly viewable and include written permanent transcripts of all discussion, debate and decision; allow public comment after the fact for all decisions. Tax dollars belong to the community. Create an online, open ledger for all citizens to view that proves exactly where every tax dollar is spent. Work to uncover and prevent wasteful spending and financial corruption.
- Revitalize downtown, support small businesses. Old buildings deserve new life. End restrictive red tape in zoning laws and allow genuine downtown development. Creating opportunities for new, beautiful architectural projects, mixed business-residential districts, and an influx of citizens and commerce to the downtown area should come before historical preservationism. Stop punishing new ideas. Support city businesses by removing the unfair and unnecessary city business licensing law which increases the burden to new entrepreneurs. This law only punishes lawful commerce, when the state already regulates the professional licensing and registration of business entities. Let new development flourish.
