It has been an honor to be the voice of the 65th District for two terms. A lifetime of public service shows that a proven, trusted, leader is the best choice. I ask for for your vote today.

Below is a committee hearing agenda in #kyga20 for March 18. The people’s business in this time of pandemic does NOT include ophthalmic dispensers, bourbon gift shops, and defining “stylist”! We need to pass a budget, support health services, small biz, schools and workers.

We can talk about whatever you want, Michael - just commit to the debate. The people of Kentucky deserve to hear from both candidates, and that’s why I agreed to the debate. I hope you do, too.

Number of US workers getting a raise at midnight tonight: 5.2 million Number of Kentuckians getting a raise: 0 Three neighboring states are set to raise their minimum wage. OH $8.55, MO $8.60, AR $9.25. Let’s compete in KY, and reverse harmful policies that drive down wages.

Honored to be a 35-yr dues paying union KY Prof. Firefighter. I worked the state conference this year and look who else showed up- @AndyBeshearKY . Both of us were endorsed, unanimously, by the statewide firefighters.

Black voters swept Joe and Kamala into office. I met a young black man, Lewis St, Covington, on campaign trail who said he wasn’t voting b/c it didn’t matter in KY. Handed him a voter registration card. He refused it. I set it next to him. 1 hr later, he and card were gone. ✍🏾🙂

Being endorsed by @120Strong affirms my commitment to stabilize KY’s pension system. Public servants such as teachers, firefighters, and police officers have earned a secure retirement, and we must do more to attract and retain the best and brightest to public service.

During new legislators’ orientation last week, I asked the executive director of the Kentucky Legislative Ethics commission why Kentucky government is considered the most corrupt in the nation. Now I understand better.

Another good reason I will, again, file a bill to eliminate the straight party voting option in Kentucky.

On the eve of Census data release, two themes emerging: 1) Historic geographic polarization & straight-ticket voting makes district maps pretty much existential for parties 2) *State* supreme courts poised to be more important than ever when it comes to gerrymandering claims

I had a great time at the Oldham County Days parade today! The best part of campaigning is meeting with excited voters around the state, and it's always fun to run into my fellow firefighters.
