Over the last months, I've been deeply concerned about the continued funding reductions and blatant attacks on education. I am concerned about the workforce participation crisis that we have in Hardin and Grayson Counties that need policy solutions. I am deeply concerned about the resources our citizens have access to for healthcare. We cannot see growth in Kentucky if we do not put resources into our most important assets--our people.

I want to say thank you to everyone who has encouraged me to run for this seat. Your support has meant everything. To my family near and far--thank you so much for the confidence and love you've sent me as this decision was made.

As an educator, I promise to work tirelessly for everyone in Kentucky just as I have for my students.
