I will work to ensure that Kentucky is a place where a full week’s work pays the bills, where no one has to choose between keeping the lights on and filling a prescription, and where small businesses can grow without being crushed by bad trade policy and rising costs. I will push back against tariffs that hurt our small businesses and consumers, and protect rural hospitals so families can get care close to home. I will stand up for veterans, workers, students, and health care providers — the people who keep this state running. And I will stand up to anyone, including Donald Trump, when their actions threaten our democracy or their policies hurt Kentucky. My loyalty is to Kentucky and the people who call it home.
