Beshear helps Kentuckians, while GOP abandons us
We have faced a challenging year. Together, we have endured a global pandemic that has put the health and financial well-being of hundreds of thousands of Kentuckians at risk. More than 5,000 families, like mine, are grieving the loss of loved ones, and countless others are mourning friends and neighbors. Many of our communities have suffered destructive ice storms and flooding. Our small businesses have struggled. Put simply: Kentuckians need help.

His focus is not only about providing relief now, but investing in the people of our Commonwealth and in doing so, betting that an empowered Kentucky economy can shape a brighter future for us all.
