- I’m a working-class father, and I’m tired of seeing Kentucky families come second to corporate interests. It’s time for an economy that works for us.
That starts with Strengthening Labor Rights. We must repeal 'Right to Work' laws that exist only to weaken our unions and suppress our wages. A strong Kentucky depends on strong labor.
We need Pre-K for All, so our kids start strong, and Paid Family Leave, so parents can actually be parents without risking their livelihood.
Finally, we need Housing Affordability. That means keeping corporations out of our neighborhoods and ensuring the job boom in Far Western Kentucky benefits the people living here, not just the people at the top. Hold bad landlords accountable. Put homeownership in reach. - I’m fed up with corruption. My opponent, Randy Bridges, serves as a State Chair for ALEC—an out-of-state group that hands corporate "model bills" to politicians to pass as their own. Even worse, they are hiding the price tag. In Frankfort, leadership is passing massive economic bills while keeping fiscal notes "confidential." They are voting on your tax dollars in the dark, refusing to show the public what these corporate giveaways actually cost us. I will fight for real reform: No Fiscal Note, No Vote: All financial impacts must be public before a bill goes for a vote. Ban ALEC Influence: Kentucky laws should be written in Kentucky, not by out-of-state lobbyists. Citizen Petitioned Ballot Amendments
- I believe our laws should be measured by how they protect our homes and our children. I am committed to a platform that puts the safety of Kentuckians over political games. We must act to: Protect Survivors: to strengthen domestic violence laws, improve enforcement of Emergency Protective Orders (EPOs), and establish a statewide Domestic Violence Offender Registry Secure Our Schools and Streets: Enact common-sense measures to protect our children from gun danger, because no parent should worry about their child’s safety while they’re at school. Support Kinship Families: Kentucky’s grandparents are stepping up to raise the next generation. We must expand healthcare access to ensure these grandparents don’t have to choose worry.
