PRIORITIES FOR KENTUCKY

We believe Kentucky can thrive when we lift up the voices of hardworking people.

Charles Booker is fighting to win a Kentucky New Deal – a bold vision to ensure life, freedom, and prosperity for all Kentuckians. We can end generational poverty, deliver on justice, and strengthen democracy by centering the needs of Kentuckians ahead of corporate greed, lobbyists, and career politicians that have held us back for so long.

This moment in our commonwealth demands that we come together from the Hood to the Holler to not only send Charles to the U.S. Senate, but ignite a movement that will create lasting social, political, economic, and environmental change. We must not let partisan politics, corrupt big money interests, or antiquated anti-democratic rules, like the filibuster, block the results and healing we need.
