Wade Adams

Running for: Letcher County Judge Executive

I was born and raised in Letcher County. I am a graduate of Fleming Neon High school and Eastern Ky University with a bachelors degree and I’m working on my masters. I am a husband, father and a former Ky State Police trooper and member of the Riot Squad where I served many counties. I retired from the KSP and own and operate a disaster recovery company and storage business right here in Letcher County. I have experience in restoring waterways, roads, waterlines and demolition services. I feel a duty to our community and the residents of Letcher County and want to offer my expertise in fixing our counties problems and issues as your next County Judge Executive. I would greatly appreciate your support in the May 19th primary election. And remember…honor the past but vote for the future.
