Again my Campaign sign idea below rough Draft: Jared Randall Socialist Democrat for Kentucky U.S. Senate = Free Healthcare/Dental Care for ALL, Free College for ALL, Free city Bus Service, Paid FMLA, Rent/Food price Controls, STOP funding wars! You know our leaders should have just made free universal healthcare and Dental care for ALL years ago! Sadly, if you go to Open Secrets https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress then you see sadly all our leaders work for Healthcare Industry, war makers, etc and not the people. Our leaders fund endless foreign wars but want give us healthcare and dental care like every other civilized country in the world-SAD! It is called American corporate Greed over people’s basic needs.. I feel like the “Louisville Socialist Democrats” should be having our own anti Trump rallies separate from Moderate Democrats who vote like Republicans half the time sadly!
We need more progressive Democrats like Bernie Sanders running in future elections because moderate Democrats like Chuck Schumer vote with Republicans half the time so not fighting for us!!!- Again got my DSA card recently after going to their Fully Fund Tarc City buses “Get on the Bus” meetings for months because a HUGE fan of fast/modern public Mass transportation like (Light Rail, Subways, city buses, etc)!! I been a Louisville Democrat my entire life and sadly Democrats biggest problem is the National and Louisville Democrat party are ran by rich elite lawyers with no working poor message so sadly now we got racist Trump! I am also against the Gaza endless war and against American leaders cutting off UN aid and food to kids in Gaza which is SAD! Sadly the war was funded by the Democrats and racist Project 2025 Republicans types=AIPAC funded people so joined DSA! I also love Unions and think everyplace in America should

- I want to make Louisville KY into a place young people want to move to and stay!! I feel like our current and past leaders are lame and boring. There is a reason Nashville TN is growing faster than Louisville just saying.
- Tarc tax has not been raised since 1974 in Louisville KY. The Tarc Bus Service is always late and sucks for poor people and people with Disabilities sadly to get to jobs so no wants to use Tarc anymore sadly!! Our leaders say there is no money for better public transportation (Tarc) and Modern Tarc Bus Shelters in West, South and East Louisville but the past leaders found a way to fund an 1 billion and half dollar Eastend bridge from Utica Indiana to Prospect KY-2 towns most people never even heard of in America and a 338 million dollar tunnel under some rich guys house in Prospect Kentucky for the Eastend bridge Project. The whole east Louisville Bridge project and the 338 million dollar tunnel was an insult to Urban Louisville!!
- I want some kind of Mens NBA Basketball, NFL football or Major league Baseball or some kind of Men’s pro Sports team in Louisville KY something!! I grew up an Atlanta Braves Baseball and Chicago Bulls Basketball fan wearing their hats and jerseys because we have no men’s pro sports and I was born in Louisville KY. I think it is a sense of PRIDE to have a pro Men’s Baseball, Basketball or Football team in a community and feel if Nashville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati and all the midsized cities and states around us can have a pro team then so can Louisville KY!!! I am also running to bring Midnight Weekend basketball to Louisville for young adults and youth like over 20 other cities have in America right now!!!
