National Republicans are calling me the Zohran and AOC of Kentucky.
They really are terrified.
Call me what you want, but the people of Kentucky are fired up, fed up, and done with big money politicians screwing us over. In 2026, we are taking back our Senate seat.

In 2026, let’s resolve to lean into love, stand in the power of community, and lead a vision that uplifts humanity and prioritizes working families. While we’re at it, we’ll send Mitch McConnell off to retirement.
