As a born-and-raised Kentuckian, it’s an honor to have accumulated such strong support at home, especially from my former colleagues in the State Legislature. Once I’m elected, I pledge to do everything in my power to make them proud and finally deliver for the people of Kentucky.

VOTE!!!! 💙

Kentucky, make your voice heard. Election reminders: • Early vote Oct. 29-31 • Election Day: Nov. 3, 6 a.m.-6 p.m. • Need a voter ID card? Get one free at Drive.ky.gov • Mail-in ballots must arrive by 6 p.m. Nov. 3 • Find voting locations: GoVote.Ky.Gov

Kentucky doesn’t need another politician. We need a good neighbor. Someone who shows up, listens, and fights for our families like their own. That’s the kind of Senator I’ll be. Watch my full town hall with Kentucky’s own S.G. Goodman on YouTube.

@prune602.bsky.social Sooooo, ummmm… yeah…

With groceries, gas and rent costing more, too many Kentucky families are struggling to put food on the table. Team Kentucky’s Food Drive returns Nov. 1–18. Every donation helps a neighbor in need. Let’s fight hunger together.

Today, Gov. Andy Beshear announced exciting momentum within the state’s manufacturing industry as Niagara Bottling celebrated the grand opening of its new $141 million production facility in Kenton County, a project creating 60 new full-time jobs. Read more: tinyurl.com/45puyuea

Ahead of the upcoming elections on Nov. 3, Gov. Andy Beshear is reminding registered voters of the many polling options available to ensure their voices are heard. Read more: tinyurl.com/3dyzx4t4

Every Kentucky student has the right to feel safe on campus. That's why I’ve called on all Kentucky colleges and universities to review their sexual assault and harassment policies within 90 days. We must strengthen protections, support survivors and ensure accountability.

Trump's idea that government will pay you $5,000 but only if you vote a certain way is illegal and entirely un-American.

If investments from Trump’s “Department of War” are conditioned on the outcome of an election, it’s time for the Department of Justice to investigate.

Days at the office are always better with Winnie around.

I want to remind everyone that, if you plan to vote by mail, today, Oct. 20, at 11:59 p.m. ET is the deadline to request your mail-in absentee ballot. Your voice, and your vote, matters. Request your absentee ballot at elect.ky.gov/Voters/Pages/Absentee-Voting.aspx

Kentucky, make your plan to vote! Today is the last day to request a mail-in ballot if you’re eligible. Head to GoVote.KY.gov to request yours. Voting in person? Early voting runs October 29–31, and Election Day is November 3. Make your voice heard!

I was 2 weeks old when Mitch McConnell was elected to the United States Senate. In 2 weeks, I’ll be replacing him.

There's a difference between accountability and retribution. And if Democrats win the House and the Senate, we're definitely holding people accountable, including Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr.

I’m proud to support the Governor’s Leadership Program, empowering state employees to grow professionally, build meaningful connections across agencies and strengthen our commitment to serving the people of the commonwealth. Together, we’re building stronger leaders for Kentucky.

The Republican Party and Donald Trump had their chance to make your life better. They failed to deliver. Time for something new this November.

Doing my part to help prevent the spread of the flu, to keep myself and those around me healthy. Roll up your sleeve—vaccines are safe and effective, and they save lives.

Watch my debate with Andy Barr tonight! Sip bourbon when he says “socialism,” “communism,” or “radical.” Sip vinegar when he explains how he’ll lower prices or pay for healthcare. Your bourbon will run out first. Please drink more responsibly than Andy Barr legislates!

Two weeks after announcing a record-breaking investment in Owsley County, we're sharing more good news for Eastern Kentucky with R/S-Godwin Truck Body Co. investing $17 million to expand in Floyd County. Even better: This company is creating 65 new jobs for our people.

My faith doesn’t stop at the church doors. It calls me to stand up for my neighbors and challenge corruption. That’s common sense. I’ll pray for Andy Barr. I’ll also hold him accountable.

We’re helping 130,000+ Kentuckians find relief from medical debt. Around 40,000 letters are on the way, with relief for 100,000 more coming soon. If you’re eligible, you’ll receive this letter. No one should have to carry the weight of medical debt—our people deserve better.

I believe healthcare is a human right, and it shouldn't bankrupt a family. That's why we are erasing $250 million in debt for more than 130,000 Kentucky families. Every person deserves a chance to get ahead without a mountain of medical bills standing in the way.

To all the first responders who put their lives on the line to serve and protect us each and every day—thank you. We are grateful for your bravery, selflessness, heroism and unwavering commitment to keeping our communities safe. #FirstResponderAppreciationWeek

Former Trump voters. First-time voters. Kentuckians who refuse to give up on our future. As my pastor says, this is “a moment whose time has come.” From the hood to the holler, let’s meet it together.

We had beaten measles until RFK Jr. came in with his conspiracy theories that are now putting lives at risk. Listen to your doctor - get vaccinated.

Today, Donald Trump couldn’t stop talking about me. Trump’s attacks on me won’t lower your bills. Andy Barr’s rubber stamp of the swamp won’t put food on your table. Kentucky deserves better. It’s time we choose common sense over corruption and chaos.

Today, Gov. Andy Beshear sent a letter to David Arnot appealing President Donald Trump’s denial of Public Assistance for five counties affected by widespread flooding and severe weather that took place in June of this year. Read more: tinyurl.com/3mju4jsk

It’s cruel and unacceptable to cut food programs for our most vulnerable people when affording basic needs is becoming more difficult by the day. I'm calling on those in D.C. to take action to help the more-than-80,000 Kentuckians facing hunger due to the President's SNAP cuts.

We have a federal administration of cruelty and incomptenence, and American families are paying the price. This should not be the United States of America in 2026.

Tonight, the Governor’s Mansion is lit purple in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Every person deserves to feel safe in their own home. To the survivors out there who may be reading this: You are brave. You are not alone. And we’re here to support you.

There’s no place like home — especially when home is Kentucky.

More than 80,000 Kentuckians are now facing hunger due to President Trump's changes to SNAP. I am calling on the U.S. Department of Agriculture and members of Kentucky’s congressional delegation to take action and protect our people.

Today, Gov. Andy Beshear sent a letter to Brooke Rollins, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, and a letter to Kentucky’s congressional delegation raising concerns that federal changes to SNAP have resulted in more than 80,000 Kentuckians losing access. Read more: tinyurl.com/3d6znunc

@usapolling.bsky.social what are you seeing or hearing that would trigger Trump to visit the KY4 this Saturday before going back to Ohio?

From Bowling Green to Slade, Russellville to Rowan County, we've been crisscrossing our Commonwealth, listening to your stories and showing up for our communities. From the hood to the holler, we're putting Kentucky first. More stops to come. Let's win this together!

This week, Kentucky suffered a major loss with the passing of Billy Ray Smith. A champion for our hardworking farmers, agriculture and rural communities, Billy’s lifetime commitment to our commonwealth made an undeniable difference for many.

Folks are tired of the corrupt status quo and ready for leaders who put them first. From the hood to the holler, we’re ready to turn the page. Let’s win this together. Chip in $5 or whatever you can afford to help our people powered campaign. secure.actblue.com/donate/socia...

Empty promises don’t pay for fuel or fertilizer. Neither does Andy Barr rubber-stamping “temper tantrum” tariffs that hurt farmers or Andy's blind support of chaos in Iran, which is driving costs even higher.

A historic investment in Eastern Kentucky: Appalachian Regional Commission is providing a record $78.8 million for 67 projects supporting clean water, healthcare, jobs and more. With $93 million in matching funds, that’s more than $172 million invested in our communities.

When you make a mistake, you take responsibility and apologize. And that's what I did with Tupac Shakur; the Tupac who calls Lexington, Kentucky home.

It was great to be back in Corbin for the SOAR Summit, where Congressman Hal Rogers and I announced more than $22 million for Eastern Kentucky. From supporting healthcare to economic opportunity, education and more, these dollars will help us continue to create a brighter future for this region.

This campaign is the culmination of years spent on the ground, listening to Kentuckians and putting their needs first. Together, we’re going to win this for the people of Kentucky. Chip in what you can at bit.ly/DonateCB26

There is one question for the General Assembly ahead of the coming session: With additional dollars available, are they willing to help Kentuckians? From senior meals to Medicaid, healthcare and more, we will have the resources to make a difference for our people.

Kentucky first means putting our people first. No corporation should bully communities into accepting data centers or leave families paying higher utility bills. I stand with Kentuckians speaking out. Your concerns deserve to be heard. Your future comes first.

Midterm elections are on Nov. 3, and we want Kentuckians to be prepared to head to the polls. If you don’t have a form of ID needed to vote in the next election, Kentucky offers Voter ID cards at no cost. Eligibility requirements are online at tinyurl.com/bdz2pjpx

There’s some power in your post — but there’s more power in your vote. Get out there this November. Thanks, Iowa.
