Last year we stopped the Republican led Kentucky legislature from hoodwinking the public and diverting public education funds to private schools. Now we need to push them to fully fund our public schools! Join me! mobilize.us/s/tzLgPe

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid. While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️ x.com/i/broadcasts...

A friend is so engaged in protests that he is making signs in before the protests are even planned! He is clearly unhappy about Mr. Trump's self proposed birthday celebration, a clear abuse of taxpayer dollars and abuse of our military!

This Thursday, April 30th 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon and the end of American involvement in Viet-Nam. The men and women who served in that era were not given the respect that they deserved. I am asking you to make sure that you take time to thank and honor our Viet Name Era Veterans who served our country proudly during a troubled time for our nation. I joined the Army in the Fall of 1980. All of my Drill Sergeants at the Infantry School were Viet Nam Vets and they raised me up right. They made sure that all of us recruits learned what it meant to be a Soldier and an Infantryman. I hope that I managed to pass down some of that spirit to the Soldiers that I trained years later. Please, please share here any events that you are aware of regarding the anniversary of the end of the Viet Nam War. Salute!

The multi-billionaire pulling critical funding out of Kentucky says empathy is “the fundamental weakness of Western civilization." Maybe that's why Elon Musk is happy to cut programs that help veterans, children & families in need. Being a good neighbor makes all Kentuckians stronger, not weaker.

I ran against Calloway in 2022 and 2024. While I did not win I believe I got my message out to more voters each time. I do not believe that the voters of the 10th District support Calloway’s embrace of convicted felons, pardoned or not. At this time I intend to run again in 26. Join me.
