Jared S. Bauman is an American politician who has served as a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives since January 2023. He represents Kentucky's 28th House district which consists of southwest Louisville.

Background

Bauman grew up in Saint Andrews Park and attended Saint Polycarp Elementary before graduating from St. Xavier High School. He earned a Bachelor of Science in communication from the University of Louisville in 2008.[1]

After college, Bauman worked for two years at Steel Technologies as their automotive accounts manager for North America. Since 2010, he has worked for the Lubrizol Corporation and currently is employed as manager of operational excellence for North and South America.[2]

Political Career

Safer Kentucky Act

During the 2024 Kentucky General Assembly Bauman introduced and was the primary sponsor of House Bill 5, otherwise known as the "Safer Kentucky Act."[4] Included in this bill were increased penalties for numerous crimes including drive by shootings, carjacking, murder of first responders, and trespassing. Also included in this bill was a "three strike law" to punish repeat violent offenders, measures to prevent charitable organizations from posting bail for violent offenders (also known as "Madelynn's Law"), and tougher sentencing for those who flee from the police (also known as "Jake's Law").[5]

Despite being vetoed by Governor Andy Beshear, HB5 was passed by a veto override on April 12, and was signed into law by Secretary of State Michael Adams on April 15.[5]

Elections

2022 Bauman was unopposed in the 2022 Republican primary, and won the 2022 Kentucky House of Representatives election against Democratic incumbent Charles Miller, winning with 8,209 votes (56.4%).[6]

2024 Bauman was unopposed in the 2024 Republican primary, and will face Democratic candidate Almaria Baker in the 2024 Kentucky House of Representatives election on November 5.[6]
