Maysville Human Rights Commissioner Brey Foster officially launches her bid for Maysville City Commission
MAYSVILLE, Ky. (Mason County Post) Brey Foster, a sitting member of the Maysville Human Rights Commission, has officially signed her candidacy papers for Maysville City Commission, marking the start of a campaign built on transparency, accountability, and community-driven leadership. Foster’s name will appear on the ballot in the November 3, 2026 election.
In her announcement, Commissioner Foster emphasized her commitment to restoring transparency in local government, calling it a vital step toward rebuilding public trust.
“This campaign is centered on a promise of full transparency in local government—something our current officials have lacked,” Foster said. “The people of Maysville deserve to know how their tax dollars are being spent and how decisions are being made. No more backroom deals. If elected, I will push for open access to information, clearer communication, and independent audits when necessary to keep our government honest and accountable.”
Foster’s message of openness comes amid surfaced revelations regarding the proposed data center project, which has been shrouded in secrecy. Concerns have grown after it was learned that certain public officials have signed nondisclosure agreements (NDAs)—restricting information about the project from being shared with the public.
Her campaign platform also includes supporting responsible economic growth to help sustain local small businesses, improving public safety and infrastructure, and ensuring that every voice in Maysville is represented.
“I am committed to serving with integrity, dedication, and an open ear to the people of Maysville,” Foster said. “Together, we can build a stronger, more prosperous future for our community.”
Since announcing her candidacy, Foster has received support from both sides of the political aisle. Lexington’s 4th District Councilwoman and Democrat Emma Curtis extended her congratulations and support, as did Jesse Brewer, Democratic candidate for the Kentucky House of Representatives. Foster’s announcement also caught the attention of Mason County Commissioner hopeful Jason Sheppeck, and Dwayne Sharp, Mayor of Germantown, Kentucky both are registered as Republicans, who liked her campaign post—a rare sign of bipartisan encouragement in today’s political climate.
Foster’s entry into the race adds new energy and vision to Maysville’s political landscape as she seeks to bring transparency, integrity, and cooperation back to city government.
