She is running against Democrat incumbent mayor Dennis Carr and Republican Kelly Mollaun. Estes’ entrance into the race does give Lawrenceburg voters a third option instead of a repeat of the 2012 general election when voters chose Carr over Mollaun. Estes worked in law enforcement from 1995 through 2009. She was the chief of the Hidden Valley Lake Rangers from 2003 until 2009. She has been a licensed private investigator since 2005.
