The 2nd episode of our campaign podcast "Compton's Corner" is out now. In this episode, we discuss healthcare and the implications HR 1 will have on our healthcare system. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Us1o...

My statement on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

I had an amazing time in Hardin County at their democratic women's club fall picnic on Monday. It was a great event with some amazing speakers like @colmonelridge and our next US Senator @colpamstevenson. #Compton4congress2026

Guess what we have now! That's right! We now have campaign signs. We are starting to sell signs for the campaign for $10. Lets flood this district with them and let Guthrie know he will be voted out in 2026. #Compton4congress2026

Rep. Brett Guthrie has raised over $13M this year—17% from PACs, special interests & big donors. William Compton? He signed our Candidate Integrity Pledge and committed to serving people over profit. Let’s elect leaders who serve us, not their donors. @compton4ky2024.bsky.social

Saturday, Americans marched for #NoKingsDay—to reject extremism and say this country belongs to us, not billionaires or political dynasties. Now it’s our turn in KY-02. Our end-of-quarter deadline is days away. Help us fight back.👇 secure.actblue.com/donate/compt...

I had an amazing time at Glasgow Pride! It is time to have someone to represent the entire community, not just corporate donors. #Compton4congress2026

For immediate release: I am challenging Brett Guthrie to a public forum town hall regarding H.R. 1. If Congressman Guthrie believes this bill helps his constituents in the 2nd Congressional District, he should be willing to defend it—in front of the very people whose lives it will change.

Over the past week, I have been out and about speaking to voters, supporting candidates like Col. Pamela Stevenson for US Senate, and fighting against the Reverse Robin Hood Budget bill Guthrie had a hand in crafting. It is time we have a leader who will fight back every day. I am that leader.

We are down to 1 more day. Can you help us hold Guthrie accountable for his vote on the budget bill?

Republicans said their “One Big Beautiful Bill” would help working families. In KY, the top 1% saw millions. Most of us? Less than $1,000. That’s not relief — that’s a ripoff. #KY02 #FairTaxPolicy

Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill is rooted in profit over people, making the rich richer while the poor and working class get left in the dust.

We have 3 more days left of this month. Can you all help our campaign out and hold Brett Guthrie (the man in charge of Medicaid cuts) accountable by donating $25? #Compton4congress2026 #FlipKY02 secure.actblue.com/donate/early...

In my race, I'm the only candidate that has all 3 of these: 1) Consistently shows up and listens to the people. 2) Lives in the district (Yes, 1 candidate doesn't even live in the district) 3) Has a proven record of voting with & for the working people as an elected official.

I completely agree. Brett Guthrie should have to look into the face of every single one of the 234,382 Kentuckians he voted to cut Medicaid from. #WhereIsGuthrie #FindGuthrie

Kentucky's opioid crisis is well-known. Medicaid is a huge resource for our communities for substance use treatment and support. Recent efforts have been effective in lowering overdose rates for the last couple of years.

Brett Guthrie is celebrating the fact that he just passed harmful Medicaid cuts that are going to hurt many Kentuckians in the 2nd District. So I am on a mission to #GetRidOfGuthrie and I need your help! Find the donation link below ⬇️

$1.7 billion. That's how much Kentucky stands to lose from the cuts Congressman Brett Guthrie put into the spending bill. It would also result in the loss of coverage of 207,000-345,000 Kentuckians. But the wealthy elites get their tax breaks.

Swag update! We now have campaign bracelets and stickers. When you see me at an event, ask for one (or both) or send a donation and shoot me a message and I will get one to you.

I’ve had enough—and I know a lot of you have too. Enough of politicians who talk a big game back home, then go to Washington and sell us out. Enough of working families being told to “tighten their belts” while billionaires get tax breaks.

I am proud to receive the endorsement from Next Gen Politics. Now is the time we have someone stand up from KY-02 and fight for a better future. A future the next generation will thrive in. I am committed to being that fighter. Join us and donate below! secure.actblue.com/donate/early...

I’m not a career politician. I’m a teacher — and I’m running for Congress in KY-02 because working people deserve a voice in Washington. This is a grassroots campaign, and every dollar makes a difference. Can you chip in today to help us win? secure.actblue.com/donate/early...

Early support can make or break a campaign. We’re working to raise $25,000 this month to launch voter outreach & show that Kentucky’s 2nd District is ready for change. Donating now helps us build momentum, reach more voters, & prove this race is winnable. Will you chip in today to help flip KY-2?

I love serving my small rural city of Plum Springs!

Anyone in and around Bullitt county (or anyone at all). I am hosting another town hall Kay 22nd. Please come out and fill the library up and hear from someone who truly wants to represent the people. #Compton4congress2026 #FlipKY02

Yesterday, Warren County held our reorganization. I was elected precinct committee for Plum Springs and was elected onto the executive board. We also heard from democratic party chair Colmon Elridge. It is pretty cool to be described by him as a "badass!". #compton4congress2026 #Kentucky

Join @compton4ky2024.bsky.social, myself, and many others at the courthouse steps in downtown Elizabethtown. Why? -Planned DOGE cuts to medicare and medicaid -Cuts to school funding -Tariffs crippling our small businesses and everyday folks -Voting rights under attack And so much more!

Medicaid is vital to our rural communities. It helps put funds into our economy and provides the needed healthcare for rural Kentuckians. Let's send a clear message to the man who will be responsible for the cuts to medicaid that we do not want Medicaid cut. #Compton4congress2026 #Kentucky

We’ve got a real shot to flip KY-02 blue, but we can’t do it without YOU. William Dakota Compton is fighting for working families, reproductive freedom, and real representation in Western Kentucky. He’s running against a MAGA incumbent with deep-pocketed backers, & every dollar makes a difference.

Unlike Trump, I believe the top 1% need to pay their fair share of taxes!

Folks, It is a shame that this administration has an order that delays Medicares power to negotiate drug prices. This will hurt so many. Here is how and who it will hurt.

Yesterday, I spoke to concerned constituents in Hardin County. This photo sums things up. When leadership is asked to speak to the voters, Guthrie never shows. Well, I will show up. Unlike Guthrie, I don't hide. #Compton4congress2026

This week, we will see the house vote on tax breaks for wealthy billionaires. How will they pay for it? They plan to also vote to take away earned social security benefits, cut $880 billion from Medicaid, and slash healthcare benefits from our veterans.

At midnight tonight is a big fundraising deadline. Let's show everyone that the people are ready for someone new to represent Kentucky's 2nd Congressional district in Congress. Help make it happen by donating today! #Compton4congress2026 secure.actblue.com/donate/compt...

Residents in Hart County showed up today to protest what is going on in the state and local levels. People in all areas, even rural Kentucky, are angry. They are angry about the $880 billion in cuts to medicaid Brett Guthrie is responsible for. They are angry about cuts to social security.

Sunday, a large group got together and asked questions they wish Brett Guthrie would answer. Here are my responses to the questions. Unlike Guthrie, I won't hide from the people. youtu.be/E5GNtHf8_pk?...

I want to make sure that your grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, or whomever you care about receives their social security they worked so hard to invest in, the medicaid they deserve to help pay for their healthcare, and all of the retirement benefits they worked so hard all of these years for.

Brett Guthrie is trying to cut $880 billion from Medicaid. I'm running against him. We need affordable healthcare, not work to make it harder to get. Will you help my campaign reach our first goal of $20,000 by the end of March? secure.actblue.com/donate/compt...

Here is the GOP budget plan in a simple graph. They want to cut peograms that help people and give tax cuts to wealthy elites. Look at that largest chunk, Medicaid. My opponent is the driving force making that happen. Massive cuts like this will do nothing but hurt people.

Hey everyone, I have a small favor for you all. Can you all go onto Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and even here and like and share my campaign out. All handles are the same for all platforms. My race isn't till 2026, but now is the time for us to get ready. #Compton4congress2026

Medicaid is a very popular program that provides vital healthcare. Over 81% of Americans oppose cutting it. Why is my opponent, @RepGuthrie wanting to make cuts to this popular and important program? I stand with Americans in support of Medicaid. #Compton4Congress2026

Congressman Brett Guthrie is the chair of the Energy and Commerce committee. He wants to make over $880 billion in cuts from his committee with the majority, if not all of it, coming from cuts to medicaid programs. With these cuts, it will force over a million Americans off of Medicaid.

Republicans are trying to eliminate vital public school funding for rural areas like mine. Let's send them a clear message that we support public schools by donating $10 to get this teacher to Congress. #Compton4congress2026 secure.actblue.com/donate/compt...

I work for the public schools in Warren County. Here is how eliminating federal funding would hurt our schools in this county. We must work to strengthen, not weaken our public schools. We need a leader who will do that. Brett Guthrie has shown he will not. #Compton4congress2026

Kentuckians deserve a rep. who will fight to ensure they have access to healthcare, not gut programs that help give them access. We need a new leader in KY-02 to get the job done. Can you help us get that leader by donating $15 to our campaign. secure.actblue.com/donate/compt...

Cutting USAID will cause farmers in at least 9 counties in my Congressional district to lose money. We need to lift our rural farmers up, not cause them to lose funds. Where is our leader, Brett Guthri? Answer: He is nowhere because he does not care. I do! #Compton4Congress2026

Why do we have a representative that votes against helping Kentuckians and votes to help his corporate donors? It's time we have one who truly fights for a better life for Kentuckians and puts Kentucky first. Guthrie has shown he won't. I will. #PuttingKYFirst #Compton4Congress
