Dalton Jantzen to Run for State Representative in District 27

(Payneville) - Dalton Jantzen, a professor at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, is running for State Representative in House District 27, which covers Meade and portions of Bullitt and Hardin counties.

"I plan to run as the true conservative in the race," said Jantzen.  "I am pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, and against any new tax increases. Our citizens are burdened with more than enough taxes.  Local businesses close each week because they are overwhelmed by regulations and taxes," said Jantzen.  "It is time for politicians in Frankfort to stand up, show some courage, and make the tough decisions that will improve quality of life for all Kentuckians.  I look forward to the opportunity of serving all the people in the 27th district."

Jantzen is a 1978 graduate of Meade County High School, and is currently employed at Elizabethtown Community and Technical College as a Professor of Information Technology.  Jantzen has actively supported conservative causes for many years in Meade County.  He is a strong Second Amendment advocate and is a certified instructor of concealed carry classes.

Jantzen, 49, and his wife Carolyn have two children, Tamara and Timothy, and five grandchildren.
