James "Brandon" Spencer is an American politician from Kentucky. First elected as a constable in Floyd County, Spencer was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives from the 95th district as a member of the Democratic Party in 2006 after defeating incumbent representative Chuck Meade in the primary election. This was his second attempt for the seat, having lost the Democratic primary in his first attempt.[1] He later resigned from the house less than one year into his term.[2] In 2014, Spencer unsuccessfully ran for Floyd County Sheriff, losing the Democratic nomination.
Spencer has since changed political parties, becoming a Republican. He ran for the 95th district in 2022, losing to incumbent representative Ashley Tackett Laferty.[3] He is running again for the seat in 2024.
