Republican David Sharp says he’s running for the 1st District U.S. Representative seat because he wants to represent the middle class in Washington D.C. and help fight the establishment that is growing in Kentucky.
During an interview with the News Edge, Sharp shared a little background information about himself including he’s a U.S. Army Veteran who was stationed at Fort Campbell until he got out of the Army in 1997. Sharp has lived in Madisonville since 1995 after he met his wife there and they have three children. Sharp is currently a finance director for a large automotive group in Evansville.
