Heading 2
Focusing on kitchen table issues is and should be the focus. This legislative session, the GOP showed us who they really are when they championed bills to reduce SNAP benefits, take away workers’ lunch breaks, roll back child labor laws and pushed a constitutional amendment that would send public dollars to unaccountable private schools.
​
As a Democrat, but more importantly as a working mom, wife, educator, and servant leader, my goal is to help build a better, brighter future for ALL Kentuckians, while supporting working families, individuals, and children in every corner of our Commonwealth.
Randy Cravens
I am a husband and a dad with a day job, and no
plans or ambitions whatsoever to make a career out of politics. I am here and ready to serve the people of Central Kentucky, to make the votes and craft the legislation needed to right the ship of our nation and our Commonwealth.want to clear the deck of all the legislative backlogs that have been left behind by this Congress, and to set our next generation up for the success that they deserve.
Once those goals have been achieved, I will step aside, forego any future electoral races, and proudly watch the next generation take the reins of government.

WHO WE ARE
Helvetica Light is an easy-to-read font, with tall and narrow letters, that works well on almost every site.
Jacqueline Coleman is the 58th Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky. She is a life-long Kentuckian, educator, basketball coach, writer and founder of a nonprofit. She is wife to Chris, mom to Evelynne, adopted mom to Emma, and a bonus mom to Will and Nate. Her family lives in Frankfort.
Public service is a way of life for Jacqueline and her family. She was raised on a farm in Burgin, where her family owned a small business for five generations. Her upbringing, including her father's tenure as state representative, taught her to help those in need and, as a result, she has devoted her personal and professional life to service.
Under Governor Beshear's leadership, Kentucky is rebuilding stronger than ever, and our economy is booming. Even as our state faced some of its toughest challenges, Gov. Beshear prioritized bringing good-paying jobs to every corner of the commonwealth. In his first term alone, he announced nearly $29 billion in private-sector investment – the largest amount secured by any Kentucky governor – and secured nearly 1,000 economic development projects creating nearly 51,300 full-time jobs. The best two years on record for economic development occurred under Gov. Beshear's leadership. He landed the two biggest electric vehicle battery plants on planet Earth, making the commonwealth the EV battery production capital of the United States.

On January 20, 2021, Kamala Harris was sworn in as Vice President – the first woman, the first Black American, and the first South Asian American to be elected to this position.
As Vice President, she has worked to bring people together to advance opportunity, deliver for families, and protect fundamental freedoms across the country. She has led the fight for the freedom of women to make decisions about their own bodies, the freedom to live safe from gun violence, the freedom to vote, and the freedom to drink clean water and breathe clean air. While making history at home, she is also representing the nation abroad – embarking on more than a dozen foreign trips, traveling to more than 19 countries, and meeting with more than 150 world leaders to strengthen critical global alliances.
In 2020, President Biden ran for the White House to restore the Soul of America, rebuild the backbone of America – the middle class, and unite the country. After being sworn in as the 46th President on January 20th, 2021, he took swift action to get America vaccinated and jumpstart an economic recovery that created more jobs than any other President has created in four years. The President’s agenda is investing in all Americans. His Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is rebuilding our roads and bridges, removing lead pipes, and expanding high-speed internet access. His Inflation Reduction Act is the largest investment in climate action in history. And his CHIPS and Science Act is making cutting-edge technology here in America with American workers.
The President negotiated lower prescription drug costs and capped insulin at $35 a month for seniors. His agenda is lowering health insurance costs, cutting utility bills, and taking on corporate rip-offs like junk fees. The President nominated the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. He signed into law the first meaningful gun safety bill in nearly 30 years. And on the world stage, President Biden has strengthened our alliances and restored American leadership. He has rallied the world to stand up to Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, expanded NATO which is now larger and stronger than ever before, and increased America’s influence in the Indo-Pacific.
