This Women’s History Month, I’m thinking about the generations of Kentucky women who paved the way by breaking barriers, speaking up, and serving their communities with grit and grace.
I’ll keep fighting to make sure the next generation of women knows there is nothing they can’t do.
The Constitution is clear: the power to declare war belongs to Congress.
Read my statement on the President’s unconstitutional military action in Iran and the urgent need for an immediate war powers vote.
I served 3 combat tours over our 20 years of war in the Middle East. Trump had an entire SOTU address to make the case for going to war in Iran. He did not.
Congress is absent, & for years, it has ceded its war making powers. Now, Trump has started another foreign war.

Join me tomorrow at 9 AM at Hos Coffee in Carrollton for a meet and greet. I’d love to hear what’s on your mind, answer your questions, and talk about how we move Kentucky forward together.
Hope to see you there.
I’m honored to have the endorsement of Virginia Woodward.
Virginia has spent her life standing up for Kentucky women, families, and equal opportunity.
Her support means a great deal to me. Together, we’re going to keep fighting for fairness, opportunity, and a Kentucky that works for everyone.
This week I was thrilled join the Changemakers panel at our local public elem. school with students who are already asking big questions about leadership, service & making a difference in their community.
I was proud to be there as a veteran, candidate for the U.S. Senate and as Eleanor's mom.
Last night, two extraordinary Americans—Eric Slover & Royce Williams—were awarded the medal of honor.
Their courage & commitment represents the very best of our nation.

Tariffs aren't working for us, plain and simple.

Tonight’s State of the Union Address from President Trump will be filled with talking points. But what he says is a different story from what is really happening. Americans deserve the facts.

This week is Public Schools Week 📚
Strong schools start with dedicated teachers, supportive leaders, and families and communities working as one.
Let’s uplift and celebrate the people and the programs that help our students thrive every single day.
Even FOX Business is reporting it.
A new Washington Post poll shows 64% of Americans disapprove of Donald Trump’s tariffs.
And now we've got Mitch McConnell praising the Supreme Court for striking them down.
Funny how some Republicans only admit it on the eve of their retirement. What a joke.
The Kentucky Supreme Court got it right. Public education dollars belong in our public schools.
In a unanimous decision, the Court ruled that House Bill 9 violates our state constitution and that tax dollars cannot be diverted to charter schools without voter approval.

Great to see Senate Bill 172 signed into law to help lower utility costs for Kentucky families.
Now let’s build on this progress and pass the $75 million proposal to help at-risk Kentuckians keep the lights on and their homes warm.

DHS is issuing subpoenas to ask for the names & contact info for the social media accounts criticizing ICE.
This is a complete violation of your rights. The First Amendment doesn’t have an asterisk that says “unless you criticize the government.”

So remember when Donald Trump promised he’d “bring down the cost of everything”? According to Kentucky data that promise was more campaign slogan than reality.

Congress continues to increase funding for ICE while millions of Americans struggle to afford basic needs like food, health care & housing.
Its worth asking whether these priorities truly serve the American people.

A rural community is losing access to critical care.
Moving a birthing center farther away puts moms and babies at risk and adds stress at the most vulnerable moment of their lives.
Kentucky families deserve better.

Kentucky is supposed to be the bourbon capital of the world but our iconic bourbon industry is dealing with shrinking demand, production pauses, and tariff headaches.

I had a great time at the Campbell County Young Dems bowling night. Lots of laughs and even better conversations. These are the folks who show up, roll up their sleeves, and believe in building a Kentucky that works for everyone. I’m proud to stand with this next generation of leaders.

This shouldn't be a partisan issue. Powerful people, on an international scale, who have allegedly committed heinous crimes, are being protected by Pam Bondi and the D.O.J.
Since when are we a nation that protects pedophiles? The victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his network deserve justice.
The singular legislative accomplishment Trump and Republicans achieved with all that power was a law that cuts taxes for billionaires, slashes health care for working Americans, AND blows up the deficit.

Proud of the students who are peacefully exercising their right to speak up for what they believe in. That takes courage & conviction. And grateful to the administrators & staff who worked to keep students safe and supported. This is what democracy looks like in action.

Looking back on this a lot more fondly now that the sun is shining. Hope everyone’s enjoying the beautiful weather out there!

I’m honored to have the support of two leaders who have spent their lives serving Kentucky and standing up for working families. Thank you to former Covington Mayor Joe Meyer and former State Representative Buddy Wheatley for believing in this campaign and in what Kentucky can be.

The SAVE Act isn’t about election integrity. It’s about making it harder for eligible Americans to vote. Citizenship is already required. This bill would force people to jump through unnecessary hoops and could block millions from the ballot box. That’s not democracy.

Kentuckians don’t wake up worried about culture-war acronyms. They wake up worried about bills, jobs and health care. Let’s talk about that.
