TRANSPARENT LEADERSHIP FOR KENTUCKY

On May 21, the citizens of the commonwealth have an opportunity to elect dignified leaders who will put the hardworking citizens of Kentucky first. 

As governor and lieutenant governor, Justin Miller and I will go to work in Frankfort every single day — focused on one simple task — making the lives of ALL Kentuckians better.

We have serious issues that must be dealt with by leaders with the experience to attack a problem and fix it, without placing blame and without causing more pain to those impacted.

We must allow Kentuckians to benefit from expanded gaming and marijuana revenue. We must stop lying about the pension system and begin funding it.  We must realize as a commonwealth that a healthy workforce capable of completing a job is much more attractive to businesses than a tax incentive.

We will end the school-to-prison cycle for our youth. We will immediately restore voting rights to former felons and will push businesses to stop seeing those individuals as second-class citizens when hiring new employees.

We will make it clear that at no time will Kentucky’s governor hide from the media. I will answer any and all questions respectfully, and I will make it clear on Day One that Kentuckians do not get turned away when visiting the Capitol building that belongs to them.

We will cut waste from the budget, provide additional funding to public schools and protect public education.

Most important, as non-politicians, Justin and I will return dignity, integrity and respect back to the governor and lieutenant governor’s offices. Kentucky deserves 100% transparent leadership from Day One and that’s exactly what we’ll provide. Our campaign has focused entirely on the people and what their needs are — not fundraising.

Don’t be fooled by the thought that one is unable to lead effectively without being a millionaire. Just look at the person and who you believe will put you and your family’s needs before his own. As I’ve said from Day One, I’d rather have your vote than your dollar. It’s time for a Kentuckian to lead Kentucky. There’s no place I’d rather call home and there’s no group of citizens I’d rather lead.

Kentucky First means just that — putting the people of the commonwealth above all else. We hold the firm belief that Kentucky’s people are her power. We’re ready to lead and graciously ask for your vote.
