FOR jefferson county attorney
MEET SARAH
I’m running in the Democratic Primary to serve as Jefferson County Attorney because I’ve proudly served for more than 16 years as Assistant County Attorney, and this office is too important for on-the-job training.
I’ve served as a criminal prosecutor, a civil rights lawyer for victims of discrimination, an advisor to Metro Council, and now as Director of the Civil Division. As counsel for the Human Relations Commission, I’ve successfully advocated for victims of sexual harassment and discrimination.
I’m also running because I believe we must always stand up for our community—no matter the odds or the opponent.
That’s why I proudly defended Louisville’s attempt to raise the minimum wage all the way to the Kentucky Supreme Court, even though I knew the odds were against us. That’s why I spent time in Washington defending women’s rights, including the right to make their own health care decisions.
I know the important difference this office makes in the community, and I hope to continue serving the people of Jefferson County as your next County Attorney.
Sarah’s Priorities
Protect the victims of crimes and promote public safety by prosecuting those who break the law.
Ensure that children get the financial support they need from both parents.
Enforce the law in a fair and equitable way.
Continue to provide good legal counsel to Louisville Metro Government.

“ Sarah was one of the attorneys representing the city when we negotiated the land deal for the Norton Healthcare Sports & Learning Center. I can assure you that smart, kind lawyers make tough things bearable. I am a Sarah fan because I've seen her work, and therefore I've seen her heart.”

“ In my eight years serving as a member of Metro Council, I worked with Sarah on a wide range of legislative matters. She was thoughtful and diligent in the legal advice she provided Metro Council and very capable of navigating complex and novel legal questions. The community will be very fortunate to have her as our County Attorney. ”

“ Sarah was one of the very first hires I made when I was appointed County Attorney. She is among a select number of lawyers who have prosecuted criminal cases, advised all levels of government, and argued before the Kentucky Supreme Court. The County Attorney’s Office requires a specific skill set and our community understandably has high expectations of professionalism and hard work that I know Sarah can meet. That is why she has my full support to lead this office into the future. ”

“I have known Sarah for years, as a colleague, a supervisor, and a friend. She is a dedicated, hardworking public servant with the ability to get things done. In the times that Sarah and I represent clients on the opposite side of cases, she is always fair, transparent, and a strong advocate in working towards the best interests of the entire city. Sarah Martin is exactly the leader we need representing our community as the Jefferson County Attorney.”
