Rep. Morgan McGarvey, U.S. Congressman representing Kentucky’s 3rd district and Louisville native, highlighted several community and national issues in a series of social media posts on March 31, 2026.

In his first post of the day, McGarvey encouraged public participation in a local art initiative: ” It’s time to vote We had so many incredible submissions for this year’s Congressional Art Competition, and now it’s up to our fellow Louisvillians to pick a winner! Our voting portal closes on April 23 — pick your favorite, here: https://t.co/eqtEFFgZsG https://t.co/Mx0esJcLQ3″ (March 31, 2026).

Later that afternoon, he posted in recognition of Transgender Day of Visibility: “Today, we celebrate the love, joy, and resilience of the trans community and stand together in the fight to protect the lives, voices, and rights of trans people. Wanting a safe and authentic life for ALL of our neighbors and loved ones shouldn’t be radical. #TDOV https://t.co/UdIyj5iBSK” (March 31, 2026).

Addressing recent legal developments regarding conversion therapy practices in his third post that evening, McGarvey stated: “Today’s SCOTUS ruling does not change the fact that conversion therapy is dangerous and widely disproven. No one should have to suffer this kind of torture – we will not stop fighting to protect kids from this cruel and fraudulent practice. https://t.co/JGJHJs8GfL” (March 31, 2026).

Morgan McGarvey has represented Kentucky’s 3rd District since replacing John Yarmuth in Congress in 2023. Before his current role in Washington D.C., he served both in the Kentucky Senate from 2013 to 2023 and briefly in the Kentucky House of Representatives between 2019 and 2023. Born in Louisville in 1979, McGarvey holds degrees from the University of Missouri (BA) and the University of Kentucky College of Law (JD), where he graduated in 2007.
