Most expect Madisonville Mayor William "Will" Cox Jr, to seek the seat. Will Cox is the son of William "Bill" Cox and the Grandson of former State Representative John Henry Cox.

Will Cox who is serving his first term as Mayor of Madisonville is expected to make a decision by the end of the year as to a possible run for the seat.
