SEN. BRANDON STORM RECOGNIZED AS
‘MAN OF THE YEAR’ IN LAUREL COUNTY
Senator recognized for his legislative leadership, community service, and work on legacy projects to strengthen Laurel County’s economy, infrastructure, and future
FRANKFORT, Ky. (Aug. 11, 2025) – The Kentucky Senate Majority Caucus proudly congratulates Sen. Brandon Storm, R-London, and its Senate Judiciary Chair, on being named Man of the Year at the 90th Annual Laurel County Homecoming Honorees Reception. As reported by the Sentinel Echo in London, Kentucky, the honor recognizes Storm’s long-standing dedication to public service, his leadership in the Senate, and his tireless advocacy for the people of Laurel County and the commonwealth.
Senate President Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, praised Storm’s contributions, noting his strong voice within the caucus and his focus on delivering meaningful results with the state’s judicial system and on behalf of Kentucky families.
“Brandon is a tremendous asset to the Senate Majority Caucus and the people of Kentucky,” Stivers said. “His work ethic, integrity, and commitment to his constituents reflect the best of public service. From advancing legacy infrastructure projects to securing vital resources for eastern Kentucky, his leadership has made a lasting difference. This recognition is well-deserved.”
Since his election to the Senate, Storm has championed economic growth initiatives, supported disaster relief efforts, and fought for infrastructure improvements that will benefit generations to come. His role in bringing jobs and investment to the region has strengthened the local economy while preserving the character and traditions of Laurel County.
“I’m deeply honored to be named Man of the Year, but I know this recognition is as much about the people and partnerships that make our community strong as it is about me,” Storm said in accepting the award. “From Judy Nicholson’s compassion and leadership, to Delford McKnight’s decades of dedication, to the generosity of Terry Martin, Dylan and Kristian Carpenter, and so many others, we’re truly blessed with neighbors who step up when it matters most. I am proud to serve Laurel County and to work alongside so many who inspire me every day.”
The Man of the Year award is presented annually by the Laurel County Homecoming Committee to individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership, service, and commitment to the community.
