Letter carriers are often the first to notice when something’s wrong — a senior who hasn’t picked up the mail or a neighbor who depends on their delivery. They embody what public service looks like.

I’ll always stand with our postal workers. ✉️💙 @lettercarriers.bsky.social

Mountain Democrats raised me. That's not just a political label—it’s a badge of identity. We embody the dignity, struggle, and determination of Appalachia.

So we've decided to produce a few items and wear that moniker with pride. Get yours today!

Today is #WorldTeachersDay, and I want to thank my favorite teacher: my mom. 💙

She was my 2nd-grade teacher and taught me patience, kindness, and how to show up for others — lessons I carry with me every day.

Thank you to all the teachers shaping Kentucky’s future. #ThankATeacher

⏰ Midnight deadline!

I'm a Mountain Democrat running to flip the Kentucky 6th and fight for affordable healthcare, protect Social Security, and stand up for working families.

Every grassroots donation matters. Let’s finish this quarter strong!

Veterans put their lives on the line for us. At the very least, we can ensure them the healthcare they’ve earned.

The VA’s proposal to strip away reproductive care is cruel, unnecessary, and disrespectful to women veterans and their families. I won’t stand for it.

In Frankfort, I fought to protect prevailing wage, expand paid sick leave, and stand with organized labor every step of the way. I didn’t just talk about supporting workers. I voted for them. I stood with them. I’ll do the same in Washington.

Celebrating Women’s Equality Day by thinking of my mom and all the women who refused to accept limits. Their courage opened doors for my generation. Now it’s our turn to keep pushing forward for the next generation of Kentucky women and girls.

Index cards up 42%. Binders up 12%. Even basic school supplies are getting out of reach for Kentucky families.

Our kids deserve every tool they need to succeed, and parents shouldn't go broke providing them.

As National Senior Citizens Day comes to a close, I’m thinking about how our seniors shouldn’t have to choose between medication and groceries. They worked hard their whole lives and deserve to retire with security.

I’ll always stand against anyone trying to cut Social Security and Medicare.

Thank you, Willie Carver, for your endorsement! As Kentucky's 2022 Teacher of the Year, Willie has dedicated his life to making sure every student knows they matter.

His work fighting against anti-LGBTQ+ legislation shows his commitment to protecting Kentucky's youth. Honored to have his support.

We had a wonderful evening with our friends at the Fayette Co Democratic Party celebrating the meaningful work of the Honorable Ruth Ann Palumbo.

And big thanks to my former colleagues Rocky Adkins and Morgan McGarvey for firing up the crowd to prepare to #flipthesixth!

On the 105th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, I’m thinking about casting my first ballot in 1994. I was a student at Morehead State. I’ll never forget the feeling of filling out that absentee ballot, knowing I was part of something women had fought so hard to give me.

Former State Representative Kathy Hinkle's endorsement means so much to me. Kathy fought in Frankfort for working families because she knew parents shouldn't have to work multiple jobs just to survive.

Her leadership for working people is what public service should be about.

Our veterans deserve so much better than the mistreatment they face in Republicans' big, ugly betrayal bill. I will never leave them behind.

Thank you, former State Representative Josie Raymond, for your endorsement! Josie and I fought side by side in Frankfort for public education and working families.

Her dedication to fighting for Kentucky families inspires me every day. I'm honored to have her support.
