I'm honest, straightforward and hardworking. I make decisions based on science and ethics and not religion. I would like to support union labor, women's rights and public schools. I would like to stop the discrimination of the LGBTQIA community. Y'all means all.
Women's rights
We must keep our state constitution free and clear of restrictions. We must do our best to maintain easy access to voting polls and mail-in ballots. We must do our best keep election interference out of our voting locations. We must find better ways to get our youth involved in voting.
We must fully fund SEEK or rework it. The Republican legislators have been blocking fully funding SEEK for a long time now. In my opinion the Republican party is set on dismantling public education and has a goal of moving towards privatization of all education. We must stand united in voting NO on Amendment 2. We must elect more democrats to the general assembly so that we can mandate teacher and staff raises.
I would work with Governor Beshear and his team on continuing their promotion of economic development and job growth.
