Dennis Parrett

Dennis L. Parrett (born October 30, 1959) is an American politician and former Democratic member of the Kentucky Senate. Parrett represented District 10 from January 4, 2011, to January 1, 2023. He considered running for Agriculture Commissioner of Kentucky in the 2015 elections but ultimately did not run. Senator Parrett was elected by the Senate Democratic Caucus as Minority Caucus Whip on August 23, 2017. Parrett earned a BS in agricultural economics from University of Kentucky. Instead of running for a fourth term in the Kentucky Senate in 2022, Parrett made the decision to retire. Consequently, the 10th district had no incumbent running and facing no opponent in the general election, the open seat was won by former Elizabethtown City Councilman, Matthew Deneen.
