Three Paths Forward
Community Involvement & Local Life
A city that feels like we actually know each other again.
Affordable Living in Nicholasville
You shouldn’t have to move out to be able to stay.
City Hall Accountability & Transparency
If we’re spending your money, you deserve a clear view — not a foggy window.
Community Involvement & Local Life
If elected, Johnny Templin will focus on strengthening community engagement, supporting local businesses, and ensuring city leadership is accessible and accountable to the people it serves. He believes Nicholasville should be a place where residents feel heard, informed, and included in the decisions that shape their neighborhoods. By prioritizing responsible growth, open communication, and practical solutions, Johnny’s path forward is about turning Nicholasville into a true “show-up town”—one where leadership is present, trust is built, and the community moves forward together.
Community Involvement & Local Life
Nicholasville is at its best when we’re not just a drive-through town, but a show-up town. I want a city where families, seniors, kids, and small businesses all feel like they belong and not just when there’s an election, but every week of the year.
Rebuilding local events and traditions
Supporting a real, city-backed festival culture again and making sure our parks, library, and downtown spaces stay full of life — not empty parking lots.
Making it easier to get involved, not harder
Clear information on meetings, sign-ups, and volunteer opportunities so regular people — not just insiders — can plug in and be heard.
Lifting up kids, seniors, and neighbors who feel invisible
Working with churches, nonprofits, schools, and local groups so nobody has to choose between being lonely and being left out.
Affordable Living in Nicholasville
The cost of simply living in Nicholasville keeps creeping up — housing, groceries, gas, basic services. People who grew up here are struggling to stay here. That’s not the kind of town I want us to become.
This path is about keeping Nicholasville livable for working families, seniors on fixed incomes, and young people just starting out.
Affordable Living in Nicholasville
Johnny Templin’s path forward is focused on keeping Nicholasville a livable, family-centered community by promoting affordable housing options, supporting local businesses to help stabilize costs, and ensuring city decisions prioritize residents over unchecked development. His goal is simple: preserve Nicholasville as a place where families can stay, seniors can thrive, and the next generation can build a future without being forced to leave.
Smarter growth, not just more growth
Before we add hundreds of new homes or apartments, we need honest conversations about traffic, infrastructure, and who can actually afford to live in what we’re building.
Protecting renters and homeowners from being squeezed out
Supporting fair, predictable housing rules and encouraging development that includes options for working-class families — not just luxury builds.
Connecting people to real help
Working with nonprofits, state resources, and local partners to make sure folks can find support with housing, utilities, and basic needs without shame and without a maze of red tape.
City Hall Accountability & Transparency
People shouldn’t have to dig through legal notices or chase rumors on Facebook to find out what their own city is doing. If City Hall is making decisions about your street, your neighborhood, or your tax dollars, you deserve straight answers and easy access.
City Hall Accountability & Transparency
Johnny Templin’s approach to City Hall accountability includes supporting open meetings, straightforward explanations of city decisions, and proactive communication so residents know what is happening before decisions are made—not after. His goal is to build trust between City Hall and the community by ensuring every resident has direct access to information, honest answers, and leadership that listens and responds.
Plain-language communication from City Hall
Meeting summaries, votes, and major decisions explained in real-world language — not buried in legal jargon that only a lawyer can parse.
Accessible meetings and records
Pushing for easier ways to watch meetings, see agendas ahead of time, and access public records without feeling like you’re being punished for asking questions.
Representatives who actually call you back
Setting a personal standard: if you reach out with a serious concern, you’re not a nuisance — you’re the point of the job. You deserve follow-up, not silence.
