ROBINSON CREEK, Ky. —  Lifelong Robinson Creek resident Nathan Little proudly announces his candidacy for Magistrate of District #3 in Pike County, Kentucky. With a campaign built on integrity, hard work, and plain old common sense, Nathan is committed to being a steady, reliable voice for the people on the Fiscal Court.

Nathan is deeply rooted in the community he hopes to serve. He is married to Shelbey Bess Little, and together they are raising four beautiful children Mae, Judah, Lainey Belle, and Abram in the same hollers and hills where Nathan grew up. A 2011 graduate of Shelby Valley High School, he continued his education at the University of Pikeville, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. He is also an Old Regular Baptist preacher, guided by faith, humility, and a heart for service.

A Platform of Practical, Common-Sense Solutions

Nathan enters the race with a clear, focused plan to address the issues that matter most to Pike County families. His priorities include:

• Keeping Water Off the Roads – Investing in proactive maintenance, ditching, and drainage to keep roads safe and accessible.
• Cutting Waste in County Government – Eliminating unnecessary spending and demanding responsible use of taxpayer dollars.
• Recruiting New Industry and Jobs 
• – Forming a council of proven local business leaders to serve as hands-on advocates for bringing new industry and real opportunities to Pike County.
• Transparency You Can Trust – Ensuring clear communication, open decision-making, and accessible information for every resident.
• Improving Ambulance Coverage – Strengthening emergency response so families are protected no matter where they live.
• Restoring Common Sense – Nathan believes government should operate the same way families do: with accountability, practicality, and straightforward reasoning. His leadership will be grounded in simple, effective, real-world solutions, not politics.

A Unique Commitment to the Community

In an extraordinary pledge of service, Nathan promises to donate 100% of his after-tax Magistrate salary back into the community, supporting youth sports, churches, food pantries, and other local causes.

“This job isn’t about money,” Nathan said. “It’s about service. It’s about listening to the people, using common sense, and working together to build a Pike County our children can be proud of.”

A Fighter for District #3

Nathan brings a grounded, honest, and determined voice to the table, someone who will show up, work hard, and fight for District #3 every single day.

“Elect a fighter. Elect an honest, steady voice on the Fiscal Court. With Nate, PIKE COUNTY WILL BE OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR BUSINESS.”
