Defending Public Education
Every child deserves access to quality, well-funded public education that prepares them for a successful future. Unlike Thomas Massie, who has repeatedly supported measures to weaken public schools, I will fight to increase funding for educators, expand access to early childhood education, and ensure every student has the resources they need to thrive.
Defending Healthcare
Healthcare is a human right, and no Kentuckian should have to choose between paying for life-saving medicine or putting food on the table. While Thomas Massie has voted against expanding access to affordable healthcare, I will champion policies to lower prescription drug costs, protect Medicaid, and support universal healthcare solutions that prioritize people over profits.
Defending Our Children
No parent should have to fear for their child’s safety at school, in the community, or anywhere else. Unlike Thomas Massie, who has consistently opposed common-sense gun safety measures, I will fight for policies that protect our children, including universal background checks, safe storage laws, and red flag laws.
Defending Your Privacy
As a seasoned technology and operations leader with experience in data governance and cybersecurity, I understand the critical importance of protecting personal information. My background in overseeing secure digital systems, ensuring compliance with data privacy laws, and advocating for responsible technology use equips me to safeguard the privacy of Kentuckians against government overreach and corporate exploitation.
Defending our Homes From Climate Disasters
Kentuckians deserve a leader who will face the realities of climate change head-on and fight for policies that protect our communities and natural resources. While Thomas Massie has dismissed the urgency of the climate crisis, I will advocate for sustainable energy solutions, support farmers in adopting climate-resilient practices, and invest in infrastructure to safeguard our rural communities from future environmental threats.
Defending Veterans & Military Service Members
As a Navy combat veteran, I understand the sacrifices our service members make and the challenges they face when they come home. Unlike Thomas Massie, who has consistently opposed measures to improve veteran healthcare and benefits, I will work to expand access to VA services, mental health care, and job training programs to honor the commitment we owe to those who served.
Defending Human Rights
Every person deserves dignity, equality, and the freedom to make decisions about their own lives. While Thomas Massie has undermined reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ protections, I will fight to safeguard human rights, including reproductive freedom, workplace protections, and equal rights for all, ensuring Kentucky leads with compassion and justice.
Defending Voting Rights
Our democracy is strongest when every voice is heard and every vote is counted. While Thomas Massie has supported efforts that make it harder for Kentuckians to vote, I will fight to protect and expand voting rights, ensure fair elections, and oppose voter suppression tactics that silence our communities.
Defending Fair & Affordable Housing
Stable, affordable housing is the foundation of strong communities. With my experience in strategic planning, policy development, and advocating for vulnerable populations, I understand the challenges Kentuckians face in securing safe and affordable homes. I will work to expand access to fair housing, support first-time homebuyers, and push for policies that prevent displacement and homelessness, ensuring every family has a place to call home.
Standing Up Against Corruption
The people of Kentucky deserve leaders who put their interests above corporate greed and special interests. Unlike Thomas Massie, who has taken contributions from groups that prioritize profits over people, I will work to ensure transparency, accountability, and a government that serves everyday Kentuckians—not the wealthy elite. I will consistently fight for and prioritize Term Limits, Supreme Court Reform, Insider Trading, and ending Citizens United.
Rooted in Community
Raised in a small rural community, I know what it means to work hard, rely on your neighbors, and face challenges with grit and determination. Growing up in Ohio, I learned the importance of resilience, honesty, and standing up for what’s right—values that still guide me today. From the struggles of small farmers and local business owners to the need for better infrastructure and broadband access, I understand the unique challenges facing rural communities because I’ve lived them. I’ll fight to ensure our communities get the investments, support, and respect they deserve.
