But it doesnβt have to be. Proud to support Central Kentuckyβs newest Super PAC thatβs dedicated to bringing folks together and electing people that will actually work for us.

Iβm not only proud to be a supporter, but a board member of The Henry Project.
We have to ask ourselves what future we want to leave. One of progress or one of vengeance? Itβs time to do something instead of sitting by. Tomorrow, weβre sharing our mission to do something.
Weβre The Henry Project.
We want to see KY politics change. Too often, the good people who run for office lose because interest groups dump hundreds of thousands of dollars to see them lose.
Our neighbors deserve good leaders up and down the ballot. Weβre here to ensure that happens. Join us.
Exactly! Locally, statewide, nationally, itβs all connected!

Tucson, Arizona today.
Original projected attendance was 3,000 people.
23,000 showed up.
Democrats should be in rural and red areas right now. Talk to the folks and tell them who is hurting them. Right now.
We are missing a massive opportunityβ¦trust me on this. Get out here.
Thanks, Friends!!

This historical marker is right outside of the bar entrance and was made possible by JustFundKY and @faulknermorgan.bsky.social
π¨ BREAKING NEWS:
The Pentagon has informed the press corps that NBC, NYT, NPR, and Politico will βrotate out of the buildingβ to give space to New York Post, Breitbart, and OANN.
This is awful.
Want to advocate for yourself, your friends or your favorite causes? Want to push for or against a bill? Just want to be more plugged into state politics this year? βοΈ @oliviakrauth.bsky.social queerkentucky.com/breaking-it-...

Conversion therapy doesnβt belong in KY. Just like being gay is not a crime, being gay isnβt something that needs to be fixed.
Iβm proud of who I am. My constituents care about what I do for them, not who I love. Itβs time to speak up against LGBTQ+ hate and bigotry
The State of the Commonwealth Address is a time to reflect on how far we've come and look to an even brighter future, together.
Tune in at 7 p.m. EST tomorrow β Wednesday, Jan. 8 β on our social media channels or KET to hear more about the road ahead.
I seriously donβt understand their reasoning. Theyβve had years to ban it, but have yet to do so. Who believes conversion therapy is a good idea?!?

This is what investing in education looks like. Letβs keep going.
Thereβs about 1,700 people in my town of Midway, Kentucky. What brings us all together is not our differences, but instead what we can offer each other.
They taught me the power of community, hard work, and that everyone deserves a fair shot. I am beyond grateful to represent them.
Looks like this place isnβt going anywhere anytime soon, so let me introduce myself.
My name is Ian VanSteenbergh. On Election Night I made history. Iβm an openly LGBTQ+, 21 year old Gen Z person in a small town of 1,700. And I won.
Young people, queer people, demand a seat at the table.
This American Education Week hits different in Kentucky!
The majority of Kentuckians in ALL 120 COUNTIES voted overwhelmingly to protect public education because we know: Every student deserves a great public school, and every educator deserves our support! π
