The Christian County Coroner has announced she will not be running for reelection. Amy Calvert Winans announced she will not seek reelection in the 2024 election. Winans was first elected in 2004 and will complete her term as the longest-serving Christian County Coroner with over 20 years of service and the first woman ever elected to the position. Winans says she is very appreciative of the people of Christian County for entrusting the work of the coroner’s office to her leadership.
Winans says that serving and caring for the citizens of Christian County has been one of the greatest honors of her life and that it is a very difficult decision. She also says that the 24/7 on-call schedule and increasing workload has been challenging.
“My husband, Ben, and our children Eric, Travis, and Lilly have sacrificed so much over the years, and the time has come for me to give more of my time and attention to them. Serving as coroner, our family has realized more than any that life can change in an instant. I have met so many families over the years experiencing their most difficult moments and I experienced it with them. My commitment was always, care for the deceased and concern for the living. I am humbled to have been able to serve Christian County alongside my deputy coroners. Together we worked through our everchanging world and I am proud of the work we have done.”
Winans’ last day will be November 30th, 2024. The 2024 election is set for November 5th, 2024. We here at Regional Radio News salute you Amy Calvert Winans for all your years of dedication towards the people of Christian County.
