Richie Farmer

 * ... that in his 2007 re-election bid, Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer received more votes than any constitutional officer in state history?
 * ALT1:... that Richie Farmer holds the record for most points scored in the championship game of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association State Basketball Tournament with 51?
 * ALT2:... that in 2013, the Kentucky Executive Branch Ethics Commission charged former Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer with 42 ethics violations, more than any official in state history?
 * ALT3:... that former Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer is currently in federal prison for personal use of state funds and property?
 * ALT4:... that Richie Farmer holds records for most points scored in the KHSAA championship game (51) and most ethics violations by a Kentucky executive branch officeholder (42)?
 * Reviewed: Kiswe Mobile
 * Comment: Obviously, the last alternate is offered tongue-in-cheek, but it would definitely pass the "interesting" criterion if it isn't deemed too over-the-top.

 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and plenty long enough. All the hooks have inline citations and any could be used, however almost none of the sources cited are online which makes it difficult to check for close paraphrasing or copyright violations. The article is neutral. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:26, 24 November 2014 (UTC).
 * Promoter's note: I have used ALT4, since it is the most interesting of the 5. I AGF on the offline sources.  G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 21:04, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
