About Sarah Stalker
“When I get into a room, I look to see who is missing and not only invite them in, but also move over and make room for them at the table.”
- Sarah Stalker, KY State Representative (D 34)
A Louisville native through and through, Sarah was born and raised in the heart of the community she now serves. A graduate of public education, she went on to earn her BFA from Stephens College in Columbia, MO. The daughter of a motorcycle mechanic and a nurse, she carries the values of hard work, integrity, and compassion into the State House each day. Since 2023, she has proudly represented the 45,000 constituents of the 34th House District.
Proven Results, Bipartisan Impact
By her second year in office (2024), Sarah has proven she can bridge the aisle to deliver tangible wins for Kentuckians:
HB 100
Was the primary co-sponsor with a republican colleague to author and pass this bipartisan bill to provide free birth certificates for unhoused individuals.
The "Momnibus" Bill (HB 10 / SB 74)
Championed a critical provision in the 2024 maternal health legislation, ensuring pregnancy is a qualifying life event so women could access insurance if they didn’t qualify for Medicaid and allowing them access to prenatal care.
Essential ID Access: Successfully integrated her proposal for free IDs of the unhoused into HB 8.
From Foster Parent to Legislator
Sarah’s transition from the nonprofit sector to public service was fueled by her experience as a foster parent for many years. Witnessing the struggles of vulnerable children firsthand, she ran for office to ensure no Kentuckian is left behind by their government.
Committee Leadership
Sarah advocates for her community through strategic roles on four key committees:
Families & Children
Local Government
Post-Secondary Education
Agriculture
