Over 500 kids in Fayette County will wake up to Christmas gifts this year because Democrats showed up and did the work. Thank you to @fayettedemocrats.org for making this happen!

"[Trump] is taking a sledgehammer, not just to the economies of rural America, but all of America." Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social will not let Trump off the hook for choosing foreign trade deals over Kentucky farmers who are struggling to get by.

Many Kentuckians on kynect will struggle to afford a $300 increase in their premiums, and the average projected increase is more than three times that. Republicans in Congress are refusing to extend the tax credits that keep coverage affordable. This is a choice.

Happy birthday, Congressman @morganmcgarvey.bsky.social! Kentucky needs leaders who will show up, do the work, and fight for people over politics. That's exactly what he does every day. We're proud to have him representing us. Have a wonderful birthday!

It's hard to overstate just how devastating Trump's tariffs are for America's signature spirit. Thousands of Kentuckians power the bourbon industry — we will all feel the impact of this. bit.ly/45kmYJy

Republican Party of Kentucky, do the right thing. There’s nothing partisan about a budget reduction.

A home cooked meal, good neighbors, and a little Christmas joy. Thank you Rockcastle County Democratic Party who made their community Christmas dinner happen!

Jim Beam’s flagship distillery will not produce a single drop of bourbon in 2026. Trump’s trade war has been so devastating for the bourbon industry that one of Kentucky’s most iconic employers is shutting down for a year. Nearly 1,500 workers are waiting to find out what happens to their jobs.

Thankful to start this week where we can all focus on the things that really matter: family, friends and kindness.

As Rep. Roarx says, small businesses keep 55 cents of every dollar in our community while big corporations only return 14 cents. That’s nearly four times more money supporting Kentucky families and neighborhoods, so continue shopping local to keep our dollars working for us.

The American Christmas Tree Association says lights will be harder to find and more expensive this year because of a 70% tariff and artificial trees cost 20% more. Trump's trade wars are punishing Kentucky families trying to celebrate Christmas.

"This is not going to save them." Did you know Kentucky loses more rural health care funding to Trump's federal budget than any other state? KY GOP congressmen did, and they voted for it anyway.

Showing up matters. I'm going to keep listening to the American people and delivering on the things they need to make life easier. That's what our people deserve.

Thanks to Trump's decision to cancel $1 billion in school mental health grants, Kentucky students are now losing: ❌ Counselors ❌ Mentoring programs ❌ After-school academics ❌ Career exploration classes And this is just the beginning. Our children should not be a partisan issue.

Having a job does not mean you can afford health care — especially as Republicans vote to raise insurance premiums for 100,000 Kentuckians. www.sentinel-echo.com/guest-column...

Gov. Andy Beshear is working hard to save money Kentuckians earn without cutting essential services. For the first time in 43 years, all constitutional officers are refusing to participate in budget reductions. KY GOP what’s the hold up?

Three weeks left to file as a candidate in Kentucky. If you're running for office, make sure you have a plan to officially file by January 9.

The KY GOP calls themselves the “party of fiscal responsibility,” but won’t work with the governor to reduce the budget and save Kentuckians money. What happened?

KDP Statement on Republican Refusals to Balance Kentucky’s Budget

“There is nothing partisan or political about a budget reduction.” Gov. Andy Beshear is saving Kentuckians money in the budget next year. The KY GOP is refusing to make cuts and is more than happy to waste your tax dollars instead.

We have the votes to extend the ACA tax credits, but Mike Johnson is sending us home early. Everyone's health care will be more expensive in 2026 if we don't act — that's the choice he's making. We're demanding a vote to extend the credits TODAY.

Our rivers are so important to Kentucky's economy, environment, and way of life. It's past time the Ohio River gets the federal investment it needs, and we're grateful to have Congressman Morgan McGarvey leading this fight.

A nearly 50 point win and the largest overperformance of an open seat in the country this year. Gary Clemons crushed it and made history as the first union leader ever elected to Kentucky's General Assembly. Last night was a good night to be a Kentucky Democrat.

I’d like to give a big congratulations to Gary Clemons, who won his race for the Kentucky State Senate in a 47-point landslide! This marks Democrats’ 227th election win or overperformance in 2025. This win speaks to the power of organizing everywhere.

House Democrats seized control of the floor from Republican leadership this morning. If Mike Johnson won't let the House vote on affordable health care, we'll go around him.  Keeping your family alive shouldn't depend on what you can afford - or what Mike Johnson wants.

Thank you, Congressman Morgan McGarvey, for keeping the pressure on in the fight for affordable health care for thousands of Kentuckians.

Congratulations to Gary Clemons, the new State Senator, District 37!

In Eastern Kentucky, nearly half of all children live in poverty. Rates are improving, but Republican budget cuts threaten to strip food and health care from families in need, undoing our progress. 'Unacceptable' is right.

Woohoo! We’re so proud of Gary Clemons!

There's not much time left to change your voter registration to Democrat to vote in the primary next year. There are a lot of important races and many great candidates to support. Make sure to make the switch by December 31st. Check your registration here: govote.ky.gov

GOP Delivers Rising Premiums, Prices and Unemployment for the Holidays

No Kentuckian should have to worry about whether or not they can afford a doctor's visit. Republicans refuse to extend tax credits, which will double health care costs for thousands of Kentuckians. Sign our petition to demand that Republicans extend these credits: aca.kydemocrats.org

KDP Statement Congratulating Gary Clemons

Continuing the trend of Democrats outperforming previous elections by wide margins all over the country, congratulations to State Senator-Elect Gary Clemons in KY's 37th Senate District. I was proud to campaign for Gary and know he will be a strong voice for working families in the state Senate!

Congratulations to Gary Clemons on winning his State Senate race for Louisville’s 37th District. State Senator-Elect Gary Clemons will bring with him to Frankfort a career of experience fighting for workers and their families.

Rain or shine, Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social always shows up for Kentuckians.

There's a special election happening today in Louisville's 37th State Senate District! Make sure to get out and vote for union leader Gary Clemons. Polls are open now until 6 PM. Find a voting location here:

Kentucky farmers are facing a bad crop year, and Trump's tariffs are making it worse. China used to buy 46% of American soybeans. Now they're buying cheaper beans from South America. Bath County farmer Steven Bach says a lot of people will go bankrupt this year.

Happy Hanukkah to all those celebrating across Kentucky. We wish you peace and happiness during this time.

Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social’s bridge improvement program has now delivered over $38 million to local communities since 2025. The latest round funds 10 bridge replacements and 2 repairs across nine counties.

What upsets me is how Congressional Republicans voted yes to extend a tax cut for the wealthiest of Americans but voted no for a tax credit to help hardworking Americans afford health-care coverage. That just ain't right.

Pre-K for All has support from parents, educators, and now 44 local chambers of commerce. Governor Beshear is leading on this issue. It's time for the General Assembly to follow.

Congressional Republicans had the opportunity to do the right thing by protecting access to health care for millions and lowering costs. They put partisanship first. DGA Chair Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social's statement ⬇️
