KENTUCKY SENATE MAJORITY PRESIDENT ISSUES STATEMENT UPON GOVERNOR JULIAN CARROLL’S DEATH

FRANKFORT, KY (December 10, 2023) – The following may be attributed to Senate President Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, upon the death of former Governor Julian Carroll.

“Governor Julian Carroll was the longest-serving governor in modern times and, arguably, the last of the influential pre-succession governors under the old Kentucky Constitution. Few will have a career as distinguished as his, one that took him through the House of Representatives, the Executive Branch, and the Kentucky State Senate. Carroll influenced the Commonwealth’s governance for almost six decades.”

“On behalf of the entire Kentucky State Senate, I extended my heartfelt condolences to the Carroll family during this difficult time.”
