A lawsuit questioning the residency of Democratic State Rep. Dennis Horlander is seeking to provide a surprise boost to the GOP’s goal of taking control of the state House.
The lawsuit claims that Horlander, who represents a district in the Shively area, doesn’t even in live in Jefferson County.
If a judge agrees, Horlander would be thrown off the ballot.
With no third party or GOP-nominated candidates challenging Horlander this year, that leave write-in James Howland as the only other candidate who could fill the seat.
