An attorney from Logan County plans to challenge Democratic State Representative Martha Jane King.
Republican Ami Brooks has filed a letter of intent to seek the 16th District House seat next year.
"I think it's important for there to be a change of leadership in Frankfort," Brooks told WKU Public Radio. "I think the Republican party has a good shot at taking the House this next term and I'd like to be a part of that."
Brooks, a proponent of a statewide right-to-work law, believes the cost of doing business in Kentucky is too high.
"I have an office in Tennessee and I see how things are conducted differently and how laws affect small businesses because I have a small business in both states," Brooks said.
Much of her work is devoted to juvenile and family law.
Brooks is a Bowling Green native who has lived in Logan County for nearly 20 years.
The 16th District seat covers Logan, Todd, and a portion of Warren County.
