“Kentucky will never reach its potential if our children’s ZIP code determines their place in the world by the first day of kindergarten. The time for pre-K is now.” - @JColemanKY Couldn't agree more! 👏

.@KyYoungDems are doing big things! 👏👏👏
KYD showed up and showed out at YDA Philly! We were thrilled to see TWO of our very own get elected to national office🤩
Gov. @AndyBeshearKY always says when Democrats win, they govern well. Kentucky is lucky to have a governor who leads the Commonwealth with empathy and strength. Read the full story here: vogue.com/article/andy-b…

Translation: Kentucky Republicans made GOLD BARS exempt to the sales tax but not DIAPERS.

“We just celebrated a 30% decrease in overdose deaths. My fear is that we’re going to see that rapidly increase." The @KYGOP is jeopardizing addiction recovery for thousands of Kentuckians trying to stay sober and build better lives. fox56news.com/news/local/lex…

KDP Statement on President Trump’s First 6 Months Back in Office

Andy always shows up for the people he serves, and he always shows up for me and our family. We're lucky to have him.
Kentucky homelessness jumped 10.7% this year, hitting rural counties hardest where people sleep in cars because there are no shelters. Now Trump wants to slash $286 million in housing funding because he'd rather give billionaires massive tax breaks. kentuckylantern.com/2025/07/11/new…
Gov. @AndyBeshearKY praised Kentucky's weather service workers for doing "an amazing job" despite being understaffed. Trump's ugly budget cuts will turn their heroic efforts into impossible tasks. Kentucky families will pay the price with their lives. abcnews.go.com/Politics/after…
Winchester families counted on steady paychecks from their Medicare call center jobs. Now 342 workers are losing everything in September because Trump decided to switch to one of his preferred companies. Pure cruelty. wkyt.com/2025/07/11/hun…
Your @KYGOP congressional delegation at work, folks. Hundreds of thousands of Kentuckians betrayed for billionaire tax breaks. Now working Kentuckians have to foot the bill so the ultra-wealthy can buy more tanning beds.

KDP Condemns Republicans Defunding Rural News Sources and Emergency Alerts

The federal cuts taking place are a betrayal of rural America. Cuts to Medicaid will hammer rural economies, cut health-care jobs and strip families of coverage. Cuts to the US Dept. of Education will hurt rural public schools, leaving kids behind. America deserves better.
"Everyone matters, and everyone deserves a second chance," but Trump's budget cuts say otherwise. Addiction recovery support hours have been slashed while overdose deaths were finally decreasing. The @KYGOP has abandoned KYians fighting for their lives. fox56news.com/news/local/lex…
