Daviess County Republicans

10/21/2026

Here we go again. Rod Kuegel is back with another chart that cherry-picks its dates to tell you Daviess County is falling behind.

Look closer. His chart runs from 2014 to 2024. Charlie Castlen took office in January 2023, so eight of those ten years came before he was Judge-Executive. It’s also a regional number, not a Daviess County number. Rod wants you to blame Charlie for years he wasn’t even Judge-Executive.

Here’s what actually happened once Charlie got to work. 2024 was a record-breaking year for investment and job creation, according to the Greater Owensboro Economic Development Corporation: $415 million in new investment and nearly 700 new jobs. That includes Swedish Match’s $232 million expansion and 450 jobs, the largest new jobs project in Kentucky that year, plus Mizkan America and R+L Carriers. Since then, UniFirst, Publix, and Clark Distributing have all invested here too. A chart that stops in 2024 can’t show any of that.

One more thing: Rod is a former chair of the Greater Owensboro Economic Development Corporation, and its own federal tax filings show he sat on its board from 2017 to 2020, right in the middle of the years on his chart. If those years were the failure he says they were, he should explain what he did about it from his seat on that board.

Rod can keep making charts. Charlie keeps landing jobs.

Keep Charlie Castlen for Daviess County Judge Executive! 🗳️

Four years ago, I made you some promises. Here's what we got done.

We opened a new senior center, 20 years in the making. We brought in $415 million in new investment and 727+ new jobs, the strongest economic years in county history. And we approved a safer, modern jail with 129 more beds, paid for with no tax increase.

We landed United jet service to Chicago O'Hare and now Washington Dulles. We gave our Sheriff's Office competitive pay and new positions. And we finished broadband, a new transfer station, and the Stanley lights.

I didn't do it alone. It took our Fiscal Court, our partners, and a community that believes in itself.
That's four years. Let's do four more.

Early voting Oct. 29–31. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3.

When a company decides where to build, one of the first questions is how fast they can get here. With new United Express service, the answer is one short flight from Chicago or Washington. That’s just one way we’re bringing good-paying jobs to Daviess County.
