Meet Amanda
First and foremost, I am a Christian.
“I am a wife, a mother, and a lifelong conservative Republican. My husband, Wes and I have three beautiful children- Remington, Arlington, and Huntington.
Wes is a detective with the Louisville Metro Police Department, where he has worked since 2012. My husband and I are members of Southeast Christian Church Bullitt County, where we serve in the children’s ministry.
Wes and I have both chosen a life of public service and believe that God has called upon us to help others.
The Troutman family is blessed to call Bullitt County home and we are grateful to have each of you as our neighbors!”
– Amanda Hernandez Troutman
Issues
I am running to...
- Fight the fentanyl crisis plaguing our county & our state
- Fight the increase in violent crime that is damaging our communities
- Make Bullitt County a safe place for the future of my children and grandchildren
- Support police in Bullitt County to prevent crime and enforce the law
- Aggressively prosecute felonies
Today, we pause to recognize the tragedy and the lives forever changed by the events of June 5, 2024.
There are no words that can truly express the loss experienced by the families, friends, and loved ones of Richard and Phyllis Elzey. Two lives were taken, a family was forever changed, and a community was left to grieve.
For everyone involved in this case, this has been a long and difficult road.
I am proud of the work Hillview Police Department and other local agencies did to ensure a conviction in this case. Ms. Middleton asserted her constitutional right to a trial and a jury of her peers carefully considered the facts, testimony, and evidence presented to reach a verdict.
After hearing that evidence, the jury found Dawn Middleton guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of two counts of vehicular homicide, driving under the influence of controlled substances, disregarding a traffic control device, and being a persistent felony offender. The jury recommended two life sentences, one for each victim.
At sentencing, the Commonwealth asked the court to follow the jury’s recommendation, and the court did so, resulting in two life sentences.
A sentence cannot bring Richard and Phyllis back. It cannot erase the pain their family has endured or undo the events of that day.
But the judicial process gave their loved ones an opportunity for their case to be heard, for the evidence to be presented, and for twelve members of their community to make a decision based upon what they heard in that courtroom.
Our thoughts remain with the Elzey family and everyone whose lives were forever changed by this tragedy.
May Richard and Phyllis never be forgotten.
May their loved ones continue to find strength and peace.
And may our community continue to stand together in support of victims and their families. ... See MoreSee Less

💙 April is Child Abuse Prevention & Awareness Month 💙
Protecting children has always been deeply personal to me. Long before I had the honor of serving as Commonwealth’s Attorney, I was actively involved in my sorority's philanthropy, Prevent Child Abuse America. This work shaped my understanding, my values, and my lifelong commitment to protecting our most vulnerable.
Every child deserves to grow up safe, supported, and free from harm. This month is a reminder that preventing child abuse takes all of us—being vigilant, speaking up, supporting families, and advocating for those who cannot advocate for themselves.
As a prosecutor and as a community member, I remain committed to seeking justice for victims and working toward a future where every child is protected and valued.
If you suspect abuse or neglect, please don’t stay silent. Your voice can make a life‑changing difference. 💙

💜 Domestic Violence Awareness Month 💜
This week, our office came together to paint pumpkins and share them with our friends and neighbors across Bullitt County — all to help spread awareness and support during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Each pumpkin has a QR code that connects you to the Bullitt County Resource Guide. It also has information for The Center for Women and Families and the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
If you or someone you know is affected by domestic violence, please know that help is out there — and you’re not alone. 💜
Let’s lift each other up, spread kindness, and work together to STOP THE ABUSE. 💜🎃 ... See MoreSee Less
