| Collapse all
I am moderate Democrat, combat-disabled veteran, author, film producer, businessman, and concerned citizen standing up as a write-in candidate to counter an unopposed far-right nominee, after our Democratic State Senator was redistricted.
- Economic development, growth, and opportunity should be inclusive.
- We must defend Women's, Minority, and LGBTQ Rights, as well as protect our children from unregulated gun violence.
- We must defend our nation and the Constitution from the far-right and rising currents of fascism.
Above all I seek to defend the U.S. Constitution and Kentucky State Constitution, as they have been written.
I am very interested in Business, Ethics, Fiscal Responsibility, Technology and Innovation, Economic Issues, Gun Policy, Civil Rights, Foreign Policy, Military and Veterans Affairs, Disability Rights, Human Rights, Food Security and Agriculture, Equine Policy, Drug and Alcohol Policy, Bourbon and Spirits Policy, Common Sense Taxation, Labor and Union Policy, and I have always been maintained an interest in promoting the Arts.
I will also work to defend abortion access and protect those whose religious beliefs or lack thereof are currently being suppressed by a very vocal and well-funded religious minority seeking to unconstitutionally impose their will upon the rest of the people.
I hope to serve the people ethically, and pledge to respect and value all views to the best of my ability. I want to promote what makes our senate district special, continue to grow inclusively, create a safe and secure environment for our children to grow up in - free from oppression by either the state or the church.
We've got a very special new district. It has something for everyone. Rural, urban, suburban, new urbanism. From Trimble County through Oldham County, all the way down to Jefferson County and Louisville - we're very fortunate to have this opportunity to define this new senate district and be a part of Kentucky's next chapter.
Kentucky by the Everly Brothers
Protecting Women's Rights in the state. Protecting the Constitution from abuse. Economic Growth and Opportunity. Cannabis Legalization and increase in industrialized hemp production. Positive advances in Equine and Agriculture Policy. Attracting major and small business to the state and fostering and inclusive business environment. Energy and alternative energy growth.
Reaching across the aisle and being able to work with lawmakers from other backgrounds, belief systems, and political parties is key to responsible government.
A bipartisan one.
The legislature should be involved to advise, yes. No executive should wield unchecked emergency powers.
