RICHMOND, Ky. (FOX 56) — Cherlynn Stevenson is running for Kentucky’s sixth congressional district, and her campaign trail brought her to a group of concerned Madison County residents.
Stevenson joined Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman for a roundtable discussion where several Madison County community members voiced their concerns about the Big Beautiful Bill.
“It’s important to connect to your voters and connect to your constituents to go meet them where they are so that you can hear what they’re actually worried about,” Stevenson said.
Residents here spoke about their concerns about Medicaid and SNAP benefits being cut as a result.

Coleman said she’s a big supporter of Stevenson, adding to the discussion that these are valid concerns.
“The reality in Kentucky is this. You are either going to personally be hurt by these cuts to health care, or you know and love someone who’s going to be hurt by these cuts in health care,” Coleman said.
Stevenson, who served in Kentucky’s 88th House district from 2019 to 2024, said she’s making this format the theme of her campaign, hoping to build as many personal relationships as possible.

“I believe that we need to be listening a lot more than we’re talking, and that was absolutely what helped me to flip a very difficult seat in 2018. I believe that that’s going to be the difference and help us flip the seat in 2026, that we are determined to go out and meet people where they are and listen to their stories,” Stevenson said.
