“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”

— Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Logical. Smart. Leadership.

Born and Raised in Louisville

My name is Lisa L. Langford, and I was born and raised in Louisville. My father, Harvey, retired from a 33-year career with the federal government here in Louisville. My mother, Ann S. Langford, retired from Jefferson County Public Schools where she taught and served as counselor to thousands of children throughout the county. I am blessed to have parents who have always valued God, family, and a quality education.

Education & Legal Career

After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Accounting at Kentucky State University, I attended the Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville. I started my legal career with the City of Louisville Law Department and, subsequently, with the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office, where I have faithfully served our community since 2003.

Throughout my career as an Assistant County Attorney, I have made fair and balanced judgments, while serving my community and its residents with honor. I am now well-equipped and prepared to assume the next position in my legal career serving the people of Jefferson County in yet a higher calling — that is of District Court Judge.

A Champion for Fairness, Inclusion & Diversity

Judge Langford believes that every person who stands before the court deserves to be heard, treated with dignity, and judged fairly under the law — regardless of their race, income, gender, or background. Her years of service in the County Attorney’s Office have reinforced her deep commitment to equal justice, and she brings that same dedication to the bench every day.

Why Re-Election Matters

In 2026, Judge Langford is asking the voters of Jefferson County to continue placing their trust in her. With over two decades of public service and a proven record of fair, balanced judgment, she is ready to keep delivering the quality of justice that Jefferson County deserves.
