Pam Dossett of Hopkinsville will make another run for the Eighth District State Representative seat currently held by Walker Thomas.
Dossett, who is a democrat, has been an educator for the last 20 years. Her teaching career includes stints at Highland, Holiday, and Sinking Fork Elementary Schools. She is currently the elementary reading and writing teacher at the Christian County Virtual Learning Academy.
According to information released by Dossett, she says as a teacher she is passionate about providing an excellent education for all students. Dossett adds “Our community is moving in the right direction with the addition of a state-of-the-art, academy-style high school. When we let our students know they are a priority and set high expectations for them, they will strive to succeed and meet those expectations. Any time a new school is built, it is a benefit to the community and will promote positive growth. As a state representative, I want to continue this pattern of excellence and growth for our students and citizens.”
Dossett and her husband, Nelson, have four daughters, ages 22 to 18, one of whom has Type 1 diabetes.
As a mother of a child with a chronic disease, she understands the need for expanded
healthcare and lower prescription drug prices.
She was a candidate for state representative in 2020, losing to opponent Walker Thomas. Dossett says she decided to run again to continue pushing for issues like education, healthcare, and local job
creation.
