It was great meeting our candidates at the Wendell Ford Dinner.
Loved getting fired up with Dems from Montgomery, Clark, Powell, and others in Mt. Sterling last night.
Always great to hear my old Team Kentucky colleagues Lt Governor Jacqueline Coleman and Rocky Adkins speak, and to meet so many Kentuckians.

150,000 Kentucky families are about to be in the dark. Trump wants to destroy LIHEAP — the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
As Trump's tariffs drive prices higher, the ultra-wealthy are getting a tax break and Kentuckians are getting bigger bills to worry about.
