Karen Campbell lives in Independence, Kentucky with her husband of 43 years, Randy, and granddaughter. Karen is a REALTOR® with over 25 years experience and currently manages a local real estate office servicing the Northern Kentucky area.

She is a life long conservative Republican Patriot, a dedicated Christian, business woman and advocate for the Constitutional foundation on which America and the Commonwealth of Kentucky were founded. Karen will defend Constitutional liberties and be a voice against overreach of government mandates. Karen’s passion for the protection of conservative traditional family values, the unborn, the second amendment and religious freedom reinforce her drive to keep Kentucky strong and defended.

The Campbells attend Community Family Church in Independence, Kentucky, where together they serve as Elders and Directors of the World Missions Department which supports and services missionaries and ministries around the world. They have served in multiple offices of ministry together for the past 43 years.

Karen pledges to be a true conservative voice that will represent the people of District 64 and Kentucky in Frankfort. Your support and vote is greatly appreciated.
  • My main goal in serving the 64th District is to introduce constituent based legislation, not lobbyist based legislation. I will listen to the voters in my district, as well as across Kentucky, and represent their needs in Frankfort to the best of my ability. I want to make sure that the interests of my constituents and Kentuckians are represented through my votes, and legislation I introduce, and that well-funded industries and lobbyists will not determine the votes I take or bills I introduce. I believe I can accomplish that quickly in my first term and see progress towards enhanced parental rights, school choice, expanded healthcare options and lowering and eventually eliminating our income tax burden.
  • Medical Choice Repealing Certificate of Need (CON) in Kentucky would promote competition and innovation in healthcare, allowing for the expansion of healthcare facilities and services based on market demand rather than bureaucratic restrictions, ultimately improving access to quality care and driving down healthcare costs for all residents. Medical freedom in Kentucky ensures individuals have the right to make informed decisions about their own healthcare, including vaccination choices, treatment options, and access to alternative therapies, empowering individuals to take control of their health in accordance with their personal beliefs and values.
  • School Choice allows parents in Kentucky to have the freedom to choose the educational environment that best fits their child's needs, whether it's a traditional public school, charter school, private school, or homeschooling, ultimately fostering competition and innovation in education. Parents, not government, should choose their children’s education.
Our second amendment, “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to KEEP and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” is a valuable foundation to the protection and rights of Kentuckians and Americans. Red Flag laws, and government overreach are unconstitutional. I will defend our 2nd amendment rights for all Kentuckians.

I will firmly defend and protect life from conception of the unborn until natural death. Every life is precious and a gift that deserves dignity, opportunity and fulfillment.

I boldly stand for protection of religious free exercise and assembling together from government overreach. I will fight for and defend Kentucky's right to worship.
Several characteristics and principles are important in electing government officials:

Primarily , honesty, transparency, and ethical conduct is vital for an elected official. They should be willing to be held accountable for their actions and decisions while in office. Effective leaders should inspire trust, communicate a clear vision, and have the ability to bring people together to achieve common goals by being accessible and visible to constituents
Introducing, sponsoring and voting on legislation, constituent services, representation, budgeting, community engagement, and communication with constituents are some of the vital responsibilities of a state representative.
I would like to leave a legacy of hope. Having experienced both the good and not so good in life, I have learned to find something to be thankful for on a daily basis. Circumstances come and go - so release what holds you down, change what you can change, and move forward to enjoy the gift of life.
I somehow remember the assassination of President Kennedy although I was a toddler. I remember standing in front of a large black and white television and watching news footage being played.
