My name is Jonathan Cacciatore and I'm the Democratic nominee for State Representative of the 49th District. I have been a member of IBEW Local Union 369 for many years. I want to reverse right to work, and reinstate prevailing wage. I will support the men and women of Kentucky.
  • I fully support all law enforcement officers and all first responders.
  • I want to reverse right to work.
  • We need lower healthcare costs.
Supporting law enforcement officers and all first responders. Protecting our pensions. Repairing our infrastructure.
Honesty, dedication, truthfulness, loyalty, compassionate, honor, determination, trustworthy.
I've worked in construction my whole life. I've lived paycheck to paycheck. I know the struggles of life, and vow to do my best to improve the quality of life for all men and women of Kentucky.
Making laws that apply to both Congress and the people equally.
That I did my best for Kentucky. I was honest, and truthful and put the people's interests before mine.
The legislative chambers are often referred to as the upper and lower house. The lower house is regarded as more particularly the representative of the people.
Not necessarily. If you let your actions speak for you, and your honest and truthful, and do what's right for the people.
Finding enough revenue to cover the states costs. Rebuilding our infrastructure. Lowering medical costs.
A partnership where we work together to make laws that benefit the people of Kentucky.
Yes, we need to be able to discuss our ideas with each other, and come up with a plan that benefits all of Kentucky.
I'm not a big fan of redistricting. It seems you take all the people that voted for you and put them in your district so you can continue to win. I would rather leave the districts alone and let all the people's voices be heard.
