Roosevelt Holmes III

Roosevelt Holmes III, a Madison County native and lifelong Kentuckian, is the embodiment of the state’s rural heritage and values. Born to a family of farmers who have worked the same land for generations, Roosevelt grew up understanding the importance of hard work, loyalty, and resilience. After earning a degree in Agricultural Economics from the University of Kentucky, he returned to his family’s farm, where he dedicated years to both farming and community service, eventually stepping into local government as County Commissioner.

His genuine, down-to-earth nature and commitment to traditional values led him to a State Senate seat, where he championed policies that benefited Kentucky’s farmers, small businesses, and rural communities. He believes passionately in self-sufficiency and family values, taking a firm stand against federal regulations that he feels harm Kentucky’s economic and cultural heritage. In speeches, he frequently emphasizes "family, faith, and freedom," winning the hearts of constituents who feel left behind by modernization and big-city politics.

Roosevelt’s public image is that of an honest, approachable man of the people. He’s known for attending local events, from church services to community picnics, where he speaks directly to residents about their concerns. His policies as governor focus on supporting local agriculture, creating tax incentives for small businesses, and protecting conservative social values. He advocates for limited government intervention, prioritizing Kentucky’s autonomy over federal influence.

Though he is a dedicated family man, married to his high school sweetheart Martha, with whom he has three adult children, Roosevelt occasionally wrestles with the demands of his office and his need to stay grounded. Martha, a strong supporter and close confidante, manages the family farm in his stead, and they often hold gatherings on their property to bring together friends, neighbors, and local officials in a traditional, welcoming atmosphere. Roosevelt’s resilience and his deep-rooted fear of losing Kentucky’s heritage drive him to protect the state’s interests at every turn.
