Graham served in the Kentucky House for seven years and worked in state government developing community education programs for 18 years. He's also an Air Force veteran, and a former high school teacher and coach at Georgetown College.
Graham received more votes than Bowers and challenger Phyllis Liebman in the primary election in May. The totals were Graham, 5,069, Bowers, 2,060 and Liebman, 1,638.
Although Graham carried all 28 precincts in the city, he said he plans to continue working hard during the General Election
