Education Advocate Draud tops N Ky Chamber scorecard

State Rep. Jon Draud, R-Edgewood, fared best in this year's Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce legislative scorecard.

...Draud said the entire Northern Kentucky Legislative Caucus was supportive of the chamber's efforts.

"I don't want it to look like I'm doing a lot more than any other caucus member," he said. "I think most all of our legislators are very pro on economic development."

Draud said it was not hard to get behind the chamber's positions because many of them reflect his own belief in the importance of education.

"My main interest is education because that can solve economic development problems or health issues," he said. "All our problems are related to an under-educated population."
