Lexington businessman Ben Self, a co-founder of West Sixth Brewery, on Saturday was elected the new chair of the Kentucky Democratic Party, said party spokesman Brad Bowman.
Self replaces State Rep. Sannie Overly, D-Paris, who announced she was stepping down in August.
“Mr. Self’s skill set will be vital to the party’s successes in 2018 and beyond. He decided to only to apply for the chair position once he knew he could commit the time needed and that he knew he could make a difference,” Bowman said. “It was unanimous amongst all committee members that Self’s leadership is what the party needs now and in the future.”
