\nFifth-generation Kentucky farmer and former Kentucky State House Majority Leader Jonathan Shell officially filed Tuesday for the Republican nomination for Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture.<\/p>\n
\u201cI became a conservative riding in my grandad\u2019s truck on our farm in Lancaster. Since then, I\u2019ve lived our conservative Kentucky values, just like thousands of other farm families. I\u2019m running to be Kentucky\u2019s next Agriculture Commissioner to stand up for hardworking Kentuckians and to stop the radical elites who look down on our way of life,\u201d said Shell, Republican Candidate for Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner.<\/p>\n
Shell was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 2012, becoming the youngest member of the General Assembly.<\/p>\n
Before the 2016 election, he was tapped by Republican leadership to spearhead candidate recruitment. The following year, he was elected House Majority Floor Leader.
