Thank you for visiting my website and allowing me the opportunity to tell you about myself. My name is Brad Freeman, and I am running for re-election of Property Valuation Administrator (PVA) of Jessamine County, in the May 18^th primary election.

Due to my extensive experience, I was appointed to the Jessamine County PVA position by the Governor in 2007. I then proceeded to run in the general election later that year, and won. I have been happily serving in the capacity of Jessamine County PVA, ever since. Becoming PVA has been a dream come true for me and one that I spent 13 years preparing myself for.

I spent 7 years in the Fayette County PVA office learning various aspects of the job, including the ability to mass appraise and produce credible assessments. Several years I spent chairing the PVA Tax Appeal Board Hearings, which is something I continue to do today, as PVA of Jessamine County. The time spent at the Fayette County PVA was invaluable and it gave me the chance to take a vast array of classes and attend conferences over the years to expand my knowledge and experience base of the job. During my tenure, I earned 2 designations, which was awarded by the Revenue Cabinet for experience and education specifically related to the PVA field. One is a CKA (Certified Kentucky Assessor) and the other is an SKA (Senior Kentucky Assessor). I am always striving to better myself in knowledge base and technology so I may be completely competent in my field. After 7 years at the Fayette County PVA, I then took my appraising/assessing experience and education to the next level and became a State Certified Appraiser. I spent 6 years working in this profession learning how to employ techniques that help to render a fair and equitable appraisal.

The total of these 13 years, plus the 3 that I have been serving as PVA of Jessamine County, have helped me to become the experienced and qualified PVA that I am today. I would like to ask you to vote for me, Brad Freeman, on May 18^th.
