JULIAN CARROLL
Kentucky State Senator • Former Kentucky Governor Julian Carroll first came to Frankfort as a state representative from Paducah in 1961. He moved his family to the lieutenant governor’s mansion after the 1971 election, and then to the governor’s mansion in 1974 when then-Gov. Wendell Ford was elected to the U.S. Senate. Carroll served as governor until 1979, the year he served as CSG president. Instead of moving back to western Kentucky, Carroll stayed in Frankfort, and, a quarter century later, was elected to the state Senate representing the Capital City. Carroll believes public service is a calling, especially at the local and state levels. “The calling of public service is much more effective in local government because government, after all, is most effective when it’s closer to the people you serve,” Carroll said. more on Julian Carroll, visit: capitolideas.csg.org.
