Back in December, I had the chance to speak with Whitney McKnight in Berea to record an episode of On the Edge. www.theedgebereaky.com/on-the-edge-...

Grocery prices are sky-high, and Central Kentuckians can’t afford to flip the bill. To no one’s surprise, tariffs are hurting our country, and career politicians aren’t doing anything to stop it. We need leaders who will stand up to this madness in Washington. abcnews.go.com/Business/gro...

Career politicians have failed Central Kentucky, and I’m running to give us a new face of leadership - for all 16 counties in the district. Thanks Richmond Register for the write-up and highlighting our campaign. www.richmondregister.com/former-navy-...

The latest killing in Minneapolis is an absolute tragedy, one of far too many we’re seeing at the hands of ICE. As an American, it shocks and infuriates me.

A few days ago, I had the privilege to speak at Upper Right Marketing, a thriving small business right here in Lexington.

After a great march in Lexington, we kept the inspiration going yesterday by marching with folks in Georgetown, followed by a terrific program at the First Baptist Church there.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

If the last election taught me anything, it’s that people want a new generation of leadership up and down the ballot.

It was an honor to speak at the Bluegrass Central Labor Council meeting earlier this week.

Anytime someone dies at the hands of law enforcement, it’s a tragedy. But we rely on experts, prosecutors, and investigative agencies to look at all the facts and determine if a crime was committed.

I’m so thrilled to announce our campaign raised a whopping $550,000 since we launched this campaign in July through the end of the year.

While corporate profits skyrocket and the stock market soars, Central Kentuckians are struggling to get by. Politics as usual isn’t working for working folks, and Washington needs a new generation of leadership. That’s why I’m running. kypolicy.org/kentucky-wor...

This admin just threatened the Fed Chair with criminal charges for setting rates based on evidence, not political pressure. I resigned from the DOJ after watching this President try to turn my old workplace into his personal law firm. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

So glad I made it to Rupp to cheer on the Cats last night. UK is such an important institution for KY and for my family. I’ll always bleed blue!

I was pleased to speak at the Fayette County Democrats’ monthly meeting earlier this week. It’s officially the on-year, and we’re fired up and mobilizing to flip the Sixth. youtube.com/shorts/He840...

Healthcare bills could go through the roof. Time is running out, and I’ve talked to Kentuckians all over the district who could see their insurance premiums double if this vote fails the Senate. The people in Central Kentucky deserve better - they deserve real leaders who put people over politics.

Affordability is not a hoax. Prices keep rising and people are struggling to make ends meet. Farmers and ranchers are worried about how they’ll sell product. Distillers are shuttering shop, crippled by tariff policy. Our leaders in Washington need to meet the urgency of this moment.

Nicolás Maduro was a dictator, but this was an unprovoked attack, and I'm concerned that that we will potentially deploy troops on the ground. We have real problems here at home, and it seems the only ones who benefit here are the big oil companies - that’s not who I am running to represent.

Happy New Year’s Eve! Before you log off for the holiday, reminder to check your party registration! Today is the LAST DAY to change your registration to a Democrat so that you can vote in the primary, and only registered Democrats can vote for Democrats. Check Here: vrsws.sos.ky.gov/vic/

Merry Christmas from Garrard County! Wishing you and your family a peaceful and safe holiday!

Christmas is just around the corner, and folks around here are struggling. High prices are killing our consumers. Tariffs are crushing our small businesses. I’m running for the Kentuckians that are doing everything right but can't afford to make ends meet. www.kentucky.com/news/busines...

I couldn’t sit back as this administration turned the DOJ into the president’s personal law firm as criminals go free & so many working families are struggling to make ends meet. That’s why I resigned as federal prosecutor & why I stepped up to run for Congress. www.reuters.com/world/us/the...

Tariffs have been making prices skyrocket for all of us and hurting the industries that make the Bluegrass State so great. We need to be supporting our small businesses, not hitting them with taxes that raise costs and kill American jobs. www.kentucky.com/news/busines...

I’m not a career politician. I’m a former educator, Navy JAG, federal prosecutor, and now, officially, a Democratic candidate for KY-06! I’m proud to have Justice Noble’s and Secretary Harvey’s as supporters & especially honored for my family’s continued love and support on this special day.

Central Kentucky! The deadline to change your party registration for the primary primary is December 31. Only people registered as Democrat will be able to support our campaign in the primary. Be sure to check your registration so you can vote in May: vrsws.sos.ky.gov/vic/

Heartbroken about the violence at Brown University and the anti-Semitic attack at Bondi Beach. As a federal prosecutor, I’ve pursued hate crimes to protect victims. We must stand together against hatred and refuse to normalize violence. My thoughts are with the victims, survivors, and families.

From teaching 8th graders in the Mississippi Delta, to serving on active duty in the Navy, to fighting for constitutional rights as a federal prosecutor, serving people has defined my career and who I am. I’m running for Congress because I’m not done serving yet, and I’m hoping you’ll join me.

Great to get out to Berea last night and join the We Show Up community. When I’m in Congress, I’m committed to serving all of the amazing counties and communities in the Sixth. It’s inspiring to see folks so energized, and it’s clear Central Kentucky needs bold, new leadership in this moment.

Proud to have earned the endorsement of With Honor, an organization dedicated to helping elect veterans who have pledged to defend our democracy, regardless of political party.

Unions helped build this great country and its middle class. We need to keep fighting for them in Congress. It was great to hear directly from union members themselves this morning at the Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 452 HQ and learn about the issues impacting them here in Central Kentucky.

Medicaid and SNAP are essential programs that keep families fed and health care affordable. In Congress, I'd be a vote to fully fund both and lower costs for Kentuckians.

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours. I hope you enjoy a safe, happy Thanksgiving with loved ones!

Kentuckians are hurting, and tariffs are making it worse. I'm running to advocate for the corn and soybean farmers, bourbon distillers, and so many others are suffering from this senseless trade policy. www.courier-journal.com/story/money/...

I swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution, not to the whims of a president. This kind of lawlessness is why I couldn’t stay with the DOJ, and why we need to demand better of our leaders.

Always enjoy hitting the road across the district! This week we were in Mt. Sterling and Versailles. So grateful to learn from local officials, community leaders, and future constituents!

The first veteran I ever met was Ted, my next-door neighbor and surrogate grandfather. Ted was a Marine in World War II in the Pacific Theatre and fought in the Battles of Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. He didn't talk much about his time over there, but what he did tell me had a profound effect on me.

Last night, I met Kelly from Fayette County. Kelly’s spouse is a dedicated public servant and current furloughed federal employee. Kelly told me that while she and her family are having to tighten their belts during the shutdown, she’s willing to make that sacrifice if it means that other... 🧵

Had a great evening talking to the Estill County Democrats in Irvine last week. Just like other Kentuckians, they’re sick of business in usual in DC, including the budget bill that’s threatening their own hospital, Marcum & Wallace, right up the street.

As a prosecutor I fought against hate groups. I’ll do the same in Congress.

Amazing turnout Thursday night for the Woodford Democrats’ dinner. Great to see so many friends and make new ones; especially loved catching up my old teammate Rocky! Woodford County is fired up and ready to flip the Sixth!

Thanks to everyone who said hi on the beautiful fall day we spent at Court Days in Mt. Sterling. A great opportunity to talk with Kentuckians about the changes they want to see in Washington.

Thousands of patriotic Kentuckians gathered in Lexington this weekend to send a clear message: there are no kings here. Let’s keep this energy up! Only 379 days left in this race!

So grateful to watch these videos of hostages being reunited with their families in Israel. Praying for a larger and lasting peace.

When we started this campaign, a lot of folks said an outsider couldn’t win. That this seat was too red & not worth fighting for. Our first 75 days prove that KY-06 is ready for new leadership. And we're building the grassroots team we need to win.

Thanks to Mercer County Dems for having me at their meeting last night. People told me DC is leaving Mercer County behind. From the slow mail to the politicization of the military, Kentucky is concerned about the direction the country is heading. When I get to DC, I’ll help get us back on track.

Loved getting fired up with Dems from Montgomery, Clark, Powell, and others in Mt. Sterling last night. Always great to hear my old Team Kentucky colleagues Lt Governor Jacqueline Coleman and Rocky Adkins speak, and to meet so many Kentuckians.

We’re going everywhere, and talking to everyone about this campaign. Big thank you to Lexington for showing up last night.

Spending resources going after political vendettas means less time and energy spent on real criminals. Take it from a former prosecutor – that makes all of us less safe.

The county hospital up the road? Threatened to close because of Big Ugly Bill cuts. 100+ jobs? On the verge of being slashed. Just like in the rest of the district, folks here in Fleming County are fed up with DC corruption making prices higher and lives worse.
