U.S. Congressman Morgan McGarvey, who represents Kentucky’s 3rd district, recently shared a series of updates on his official Twitter account highlighting local initiatives and events in Louisville.
On September 13, 2025, McGarvey posted about the opening of a new bookstore at Simmons College during HBCU week. He wrote, “In celebration of HBCU week, Simmons College opened its brand new bookstore today! Dating back to the 1800s, this building was once a store where Black students were not allowed to enter — now it’s a space all Simmons students can come together and enjoy.”
Two days later, on September 14, he celebrated Kentucky’s bourbon heritage with another post: “Bourbon brings people together — no one knows that better than the Congressional Bourbon Caucus. Always happy to toast our signature spirit with you, @RepAndyBarr #WorldBourbonToast @kybourbontrail”
On September 15, McGarvey announced significant federal support for Louisville’s riverfront development: ” LOUISVILLE GRANT ANNOUNCEMENT $10 million in federal funding we helped secure is now headed to create Waterfront Park! Not only will these efforts create a new space for Louisvillians to use, they’ll rehabilitate and revitalize the Ohio River in the process.”
Morgan McGarvey has represented Kentucky’s 3rd District in Congress since replacing John Yarmuth in 2023. Before his tenure in Congress, he served both in the Kentucky House of Representatives and the Kentucky Senate from 2013 to 2023. Born in Louisville in 1979 and currently residing there at age 43, McGarvey holds degrees from the University of Missouri and the University of Kentucky College of Law.
