The survey is anonymous, so you can totally nominate yourself and/or nominate multiple folks. Just fill the form out one time for each person/group.

NOMINATE!

Think lawmakers, lobbyists, activists, advocates, journalists, unsung heroes of the state Capitol, power brokers and folks who are a little bit more quiet about their sway.

Anyone even remotely tied to Kentucky politics and policy is fair game.

Y'all, due to my inability to properly turn on a survey link, there won't be a regular newsletter for Thursday.

Instead, here's what's going down.

[The Gallery Pass @thegallerypass]

Paid subs get first dibs on nominations (this does not mean your nominees will win!).

I'll open nominations up to all subscribers Sunday evening, and then to the general public next week.

NEW: Booker's back, Grossberg's ethics hearing is scheduled, how y'all can learn more about #KYGA26 directly from me + lawmakers this week, and more.

Some personal news: I just got named Louisville’s best local writer.

And @thegallerypass got named the third best local blog (not bad for having almost no name recognition and being less than two years old).

Stunned, thrilled + deeply honored. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
