United States House of Representatives, Kentucky District 6 is a district of the United States Congress in central Kentucky. It contains the cities of Lexington (including its suburbs), Danville, and Frankfort, the state capital. The district is represented in the 110th United States Congress by Democrat Ben Chandler. Recent representatives from the district include Ernie Fletcher (1999-2003), Scotty Baesler (1993-1999), and Larry Hopkins (1979-1993).
