USA PEOPLE PLEASE GO VOTE !!!! DON'T ASSUME YOUR FAVE WILL WIN !!!!!!!!!! GET OUT THERE DIVA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Join me tonight at 6pm for an AMA on r/lexington. Looking forward to it! Nothing but I love more than tough questions from voters.

Thanks so much for having me on, Vic. It was a pleasure to be open and honest where I stand on a number of issues. Welcome more of this kind of open and honest dialogue.

When I was born, KY had a woman in charge. Martha Layne Collins is someone I’ve looked up to my entire life. She was a trailblazing innovator who pushed the boundaries of leadership, and changed the economic landscape of the Commonwealth forever. Toyota came here because of her. What a legacy.

Love that Luke Skywalker is jazzed about the SNAP ruling. “The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it.”

Trump on masks for Kennedy Center employees: “wearing masks or face coverings on the premises is strictly prohibited” Trump on protestors in masks: “MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests” Trump on masks worn by ICE: not wearing masks will “put them in great danger, tremendous danger”

This right here. Over 500K people per year declare bankruptcy over medical bills. That is not acceptable. We are the richest country in the world and treat our people the poorest. Those in power care more about giving billionaires more and taking the last dollar from those with the least.

Lila is ready for trick or treat! She also made sure to do a quality sniff test. She is happy to report all is safe. Have a safe Halloween, y’all!

You know what’s REALLY scary? Having to choose between healthcare and rent.

2 ways to feed Kentuckians once SNAP goes dark: 1) Go to thekyshop.com to buy this cute shirt 100% profits go to food banks around KY 2) I’m donating & matching 25% of campaign donations (up to $1500) to God’s Pantry to feed the Commonwealth. Head to erinpetrey.com to contribute.

100% These are not luxuries but medical necessities. That’s why I support orgs like Period Y’all in Kentucky. I’ll be at their Berea kickoff next Tuesday packing menstrual kits for folks in Appalachia and beyond.

I got to snuggle a kitten at the vet today. Find small moments of joy in these terrifying times. And then get to work to fight back.

And Palantir and Lockheed Martin. And the SECRETARY OF COMMERCE

We are less than one week away from Election Day, and we need YOUR help to elect Democrats up and down the ballot: 🔹Help us win in New Jersey: win.dnc.org/NJ 🔹Help us win in Virginia: win.dnc.org/VA

On X, someone said “Abolish EBT and SNAP, start over.” And I agree. We need these programs to never be political fodder. That should be law. We need programs to come with bundled assistance for upskilling, education, housing, childcare. No worker should EVER need food aid but 10% do.

I want to clarify why holding strong on ACA subsidies is important. Inflation is up, insurance premiums are expected to go up nearly 3X. Most families can’t afford that. Choosing btwn rent & healthcare is unacceptable. Millions could go into debt w/o subsidies. That’s why Dems are holding out.

List of everything Trump has done to hurt American farmers: -Tariffs -Shuttering USAID -SNAP cuts -Massive deportations -ICE raids -Dissolving GIPSA -Supporting big agribiz over small farmers -Weakening the dollar -Argentina bailout

I am donating - and matching - 25% of all campaign donations up to $1500 to God’s Pantry, an incredible food bank here in Central Kentucky. With SNAP not coming on November 1st, it’s up to us to feed our neighbors. Head to erinpetrey.com to donate.

My Campaign Manager hard at work.

I. Love. This. Insider trading is at its WORST in elected offices. The fact the president has made over $3 BILLION in crypto trading while Americans are about to go hungry, millions have lost jobs, and our farmers are losing out on revenue every day is DISGUSTING.

How is allowing 42 MILLION Americans to go hungry not deemed an emergency?

I absolutely love this! I’d be willing to adopt a family or two. The other thing folks can do is donate to their local food pantry, volunteer time there, and also be sure to donate higher value foods like butter, other dairy, meat, fresh produce.

Big thanks to @lawgunsmoney.bsky.social for having me on and letting me dive deep into my platform, views, and vision for Kentucky.

That’s $2250 per month. For some, that’s more than rent or a mortgage. Healthcare shouldn’t be a luxury; it should be a right. We cannot live without proper healthcare but our current system prioritizes profits and CEO bonuses over affordability and quality of care. This must change.

This right here. They are pumping money into programs to fight against a bogeyman. Immigration is inherently deflationary, and this administration has added so much to the national deficit both by increasing careless spending like this, as well as reducing our overall trade.

The news is scarier than any horror movie

In times of severe hardship, it is important - really, vital - to find joy. Outrage and activism can be exhausting and at times lonely. So today, fine joy, and be loud about it. Today, I am finding joy in my Whiskey community that has been there for me for years. Find your people.

Just saw this on Facebook: our leadership cares more about supporting a megalomaniac building a $300M+ ballroom and destroying a national monument than paying and feeding our hardworking troops. If you or your family is in need, check out findhelp.org and feel free to DM me.

Virginia: you know the assignment. Elect @abigailspanberger.com for VA Gov!

Just here to reintroduce myself. My name is Erin Petrey - progressive Democrat running to flip the 6th congressional district of Kentucky from red to blue. And I have something I’d like yall to know.

This is everything you ever need to know. If elected, I promised my home renovations will never be my first priority.

Energy independence, security, and affordability are key tenets of my congressional campaign here in Kentucky. For too long, we’ve been left behind in the energy conversation, and we need a stronger, more sustainable, more scalable energy future.

Trump not…following the rules? This is my shocked face.

White nationalists are spreading propaganda in Franklin and Woodford Counties. This in unacceptable. This is not exercising first amendment rights. It is spreading hate and terror. It must be shut down.

When has Trump *ever* kept his promises to do the right thing? I’ll wait.

Hundreds of thousands of feds furloughed. Millions likely to go w/o pay soon. Come November, millions may not be able to buy groceries. Gaza ceasefire crumbling. Putin talks stalled. Yet Trump is busy tearing apart the People’s House to spend hundreds of millions on a gaudy ballroom.

The GOP is now the MAGA party. The GOP no longer answers to voters. They only answer to Trump. There was a time when being a Republican meant disagreeing about policy. No more. Trump has turned moderate GOP folks into MAGA zealots if they want to hold onto power. Really shows their true colors.

Johnson’s constant “well I just want her to have all the pomp and circumstance” when all she wants to do is get to work and says she doesn’t even want it, is one of the weakest arguments I have ever heard. Swear. Her. In. Then again, this GOP doesn’t know what working for people means

When I entered this race, I thought I should run as a moderate. Most Kentucky Democrats in power are. But when I reflected on that, I realized we need more progressive voices who are willing to stand up and speak out. So I’m telling you now, Kentucky: I am a progressive Democrat.

Add your name to the list here: prek4all.ky.gov/Pages/index.... Pre-K for all does SO MUCH: 🔵Makes 4 YOs more school ready 🔵Increases take home pay 🔵Saves families money 🔵Expands the labor market 🔵Attracts teachers 🔵Eliminates childcare deserts 🔵And SO much more

Where’s DOGE when there is *actually* inefficiency…?

A voter in Estill County asked me about LGBTQIA+ rights and I just want to be crystal clear: Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ Love is love. 🏳️‍🌈 Diversity is a strength. 🌈 Everyone is welcome here. 🇺🇸

On Saturday, I joined thousands of my neighbors, fellow Kentuckians, and fellow Americans to peacefully protest the unconstitutional and fascist acts of this administration. Thank you to LEX 18 for covering this important event and letting me share my views. www.lex18.com/news/coverin...

Kentucky Chief Justice Debra Hembree Lambert is urging attorneys to step up for what she admits is a stressful, low-paying job but one that is also rewarding: Protecting the interests of vulnerable children as guardians ad litem. @sarahelizabethladd.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2025/10/20/k...

This is from the official account of our Dept of Labor. This is whitewashing, white nationalism, and anti-American. Not only is this admin not creating jobs, it’s increasing prices, hurting workers, and killing our global reputation as a leader to be emulated. Shameful.

To protest is American. I love that millions took to the streets this weekend to do just that. But we must remember to keep it up. I’ve been protesting most of my life & proud to be at the 1st Women’s March & many after. But change doesn’t happen after one rally: vote, organize, and demand change.

Just finished “Fire and Fury” and even if a fraction of it is true, it should be required reading for anyone clinging to MAGA ideology. It paints a portrait of an ignorant, petulant, chaotic Trump which is exactly the identity he has stayed true to all these years.

Some of my favorite shots from the Lexington KY No Kings protest. Flamingos, Cheetos, Dumpster Fires, and even the Colonel showed up. Thrilled to see my hometown make their voices heard!

No King in Lexington was fantastic! Love seeing these incredible patriots exercising their constitutional rights to protest and speak their disapproval for this administration. Together we can fight back!
