Our political landscape can be tiring, overwhelming, and daunting (among so many other adjectives).
But it doesn’t have to be. Proud to support Central Kentucky’s newest Super PAC that’s dedicated to bringing folks together and electing people that will actually work for us.

There’s something about a Woodford County front porch that brings out the best in folks.
Thank you to everyone who came to our official kickoff!

I’m 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? It’s time to do something instead of sitting by. Tomorrow, we’re sharing our mission to do something.

We’re 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. We’re here to ensure that happens. Join us.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS:
The Pentagon has informed the press corps that NBC, NYT, NPR, and Politico will “rotate out of the building” to give space to New York Post, Breitbart, and OANN.
This is awful.

Conversion therapy doesn’t belong in KY. Just like being gay is not a crime, being gay isn’t something that needs to be fixed.
I’m proud of who I am. My constituents care about what I do for them, not who I love. It’s time to speak up against LGBTQ+ hate and bigotry

The first day's worth of bills for #KYGA25 are online.
First up: Three House Republicans filed a bill to invalidate Gov. Andy Beshear's executive order banning conversion therapy in the state.
It has an emergency clause, so, if passed, it would go immediately into effect.

Kentucky’s students deserve the very best to prepare them for bright futures, and today was a great step forward. I joined 1,600 incredible Woodford County students to cut the ribbon on their brand-new high school.
This is what investing in education looks like. Let’s keep going.

There’s 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.

My name is Ian VanSteenbergh. On Election Night I made history. I’m an openly LGBTQ+, 21 year old Gen Z person in a small town of 1,700. And I won.
