Get StartedPublic dollars are for public schools. The Commonwealth spoke clearly on this, as Amendment 2 was soundly defeated in nearly every Kentucky County. I will fight to make sure that our investment in our kids is never undermined by private interests or by those who are eager to get their hands on taxpayer dollars. Learn more
We must foster coordination among Frankfort, Louisville city services, and education providers to support students in and out of the classroom. Wraparound services in our schools ensure that – in addition to a world-class education – students receive health supports, extended learning opportunities, and resources to drive current and future success.

We must fund Universal Pre-K for all of Louisville’s 3- and 4-year-olds. Study after study connects robust Pre-K education to higher success in and out of the classroom – including higher lifetime earnings, improved physical and mental health, and significantly lower rates of incarceration, unemployment, and reliance on social programs.

Like all major metropolitan areas, Louisville faces a teacher shortage. Frankfort has the opportunity to work with education partners across the state to recruit and retain the best teachers to fully staff our schools. Learn more
I’ll advocate for more and better ethics training and ensuring lawmakers sign a public disclosure that they have received and understand the guardrails put in place to protect your government from undue big-money influence. Learn more
I will work to make sure the benefits hardworking Kentuckians receive aren’t tied to onerous and restrictive requirements only meant to kick people off their health coverage. Learn more
Few programs in the country have been more successful in expanding medical coverage to working people than Kentucky’s kynect. With over 550,000 Kentuckians gaining access to affordable health coverage, protecting this vital program is key to our community’s physical and economic future. I will work with colleagues in the Kentucky House of Representatives, healthcare providers and hospitals across the Commonwealth, and patient advocates to make sure kynect is protected and free of harmful alterations and onerous requirements only meant to turn back the clock on expanded health coverage.

Continue to support with Governor Beshear as we work to expand coverage, as he did for vision and dental coverage, despite efforts by the legislature in Frankfort to block this important expansion. Working people know that you can’t do your job and raise your kids, let alone expect to pay the bills, is you have an impacted or infected tooth. Why should the legislature work to deny Kentuckians the coverage they deserve? Learn more
Responsible infrastructure – safe roads and sidewalks, adequate drainage, well-maintained trees and plant growth, smart city planning and more – helps address traffic problems and gets our kids to school on time while combatting learning loss and helping them succeed. Learn more
We must repeal so-called "Right to Work" legislation, but there are many other harmful anti-union and anti-worker policies we should focus on rolling back: the prohibition on automatic payroll dues deduction, targeted at making joining a union and remaining a member; the dangerous anti-OSHA bill that puts workers' lives in danger; and prohibition of striking by public sector employees are all targets for me as State Representative.

Every Kentuckian should have the right to unionize their workplace and collectively bargain for better wages, stronger benefits, and safer working conditions. Kentucky's Legislature periodically votes to give themselves raises - why would they deny Kentucky's workers the ability to advocate for the same? Learn more
The prevailing wage, a state-mandated minimum wage for public works projects, was repealed in 2017. Have you ever heard the phrase "you get what you pay for"? When we allow the lowest bidder to build our roads, bridges, schools, and libraries, we put everyone's lives in danger. Restoring the prevailing wage will increase quality and safety of public works in every corner of the Commonwealth. Learn more
