SPENCER COUNTY — Conservative Republican and longtime registered nurse Niki Lee Ethington has officially filed to run for U.S. Congress in Kentucky’s 4th District. Running on a bold America First agenda, Ethington is challenging incumbent Rep. Thomas Massie, vowing to fight for Kentucky’s working families, secure the border, defend parental rights, and push back against the radical left’s assault on American values.

 

In addition to her nursing career, Ethington has additional studies in Criminal Justice, Homeland Security, and Human Services, equipping her with real-world experience and a deep understanding of public safety, healthcare, and family policy.

 

“Our district deserves bold leadership, not a congressman who votes against the people,” Ethington said. “Massie voted twice this year to continue taxing your tips and overtime. (Feb. 25 & Apr. 10, 2025). I supported the federal budget bill that eliminated those taxes, and thankfully, it passed the House without him.”

 

Ethington’s campaign focuses on fiscal responsibility, defending family values, and protecting the American worker. She supports real tax relief, strong border enforcement, election integrity, and law enforcement funding. She’s also committed to improving infrastructure, especially in flood-prone and aging communities across the district, including Spencer County.

As a nurse, she is a vocal advocate for safer nurse-patient ratios, ending workplace violence, and protecting both teachers and healthcare workers. She also champions accessible healthcare without mandates or government overreach, and firmly opposes the spread of woke ideology in schools.

 

A defender of the First and Second Amendments, Ethington proudly supports President Trump’s America First platform and has pledged to protect women and girls’ sports from biological males.

“I’m a true conservative Republican, not a libertarian hitching a ride on our party’s name,” Ethington said. “I’m one of you. I’ve lived the struggle. And I’ll never back down from fighting for Kentucky families.”
