Mayor of Vine Grove

Nonpartisan · 3 ran Primary: May 19, 2026 Top 2 advanced → Nov 3

Three candidates filed for Vine Grove mayor. Because that's more than twice the one seat, Kentucky law (KRS 83A.170) required a nonpartisan primary on May 19. ✅ Pam Ogden (544) and Selena Hudson (477) advanced; the mayor is decided between them at the November 3 general election. Craig Boyer Jr. did not advance.
