I've received a lot of questions about the election, and I wanted to share some things I am hearing on the ground here in Kentucky. I address all of that in my latest Substack below.

Democrats in Kentucky’s 88th House District this message is for you: the independent candidate running in this race is not a moderate or a centrist. He is endorsed by Right to Life, is anti-LGBT, and anti-labor. Plus he was the defense attorney for the Louisville Detective who fired the fatal shot that killed Breonna Taylor. Before you head to the voting booth, know who you’re actually voting for.
