Charleston Huntington, WV, October 16, 2026 —

The race for Kentucky’s Fourth Congressional District is drawing attention ahead of an election scheduled for November 3. The available information identifies Democrat Melissa Strange as a candidate for the seat, which has been held by Thomas Massie since 2012.

The information provided offers only a brief outline of the contest. It does not specify the year of the November 3 election, when Strange entered the race, or whether other candidates are seeking the seat. It also does not include statements from Strange or Massie, campaign details, policy positions, or information about their political records.

As a result, the available details establish the candidates’ connection to the race but do not provide a basis for comparing their platforms or assessing the shape of the contest. No campaign events, endorsements, fundraising figures, polling results, or other developments were included in the summary.

Massie has held the seat since 2012, according to the information provided. The summary does not explain the circumstances of his current candidacy or describe his plans for the election. It likewise does not provide background on Strange beyond identifying her as a Democratic candidate.

Further reporting would be needed to establish the election year and develop a fuller account of the race, including the candidates’ positions and any additional contenders. For now, the known details are limited to the November 3 election date, Strange’s candidacy as a Democrat, and Massie’s tenure representing the district since 2012.
