Imagine
Kentucky deserves a future where every family, farmer, and community has the tools to thrive. My platform is built on three core commitments: strengthening our agricultural backbone, expanding equitable educational opportunities, and improving economic affordability across the Commonwealth. By empowering farmers with modern resources, ensuring every student has access to high-quality learning and career pathways, and reducing everyday costs for working families and small businesses, we can build a stronger, more resilient Kentucky—one rooted in opportunity, innovation, and shared prosperity.
Agriculture: Supporting Farmers & Diversifying Kentucky’s Crop Economy
Support family farms by promoting state programs that improve access to modern equipment, technical assistance, and sustainable farming practices.
Encourage diversification of cash crops, including specialty crops, value-added products, and emerging agricultural markets.
Advance farm-to-market and farm-to-school initiatives to increase local purchasing and strengthen regional food systems.
Improve rural infrastructure, such as broadband, water systems, and farm-to-market roads, to support agricultural productivity.
Education: Expanding Opportunities for All
Ensure strong public schools with fair and stable funding that supports teachers, staff, and classrooms.
Promote career and technical education, apprenticeships, and pathways that prepare students for trades, agriculture, healthcare, and industry.
Increase access to early childhood education so all children can begin school ready to learn.
Support affordable higher education and training, including community colleges and workforce credential programs.
Economy & Affordability: Strengthening Local Prosperity
Promote policies that reduce the cost of living, including childcare affordability, housing stability, and access to essential services.
Support small businesses and entrepreneurs through grants, training resources, and reduced regulatory barriers.
Encourage investment in rural communities, including incentives for job creation and expansion of local industry.
Prioritize infrastructure improvements—broadband, transportation, and utilities—to enhance economic competitiveness and quality of life.
