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.

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.

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.
