“This evening, Governor Beshear highlighted the unprecedented success our Commonwealth has seen and his bold, compassionate path forward to build on this ongoing progress — progress that can be attributed to his relentless drive to meet Kentuckians where they are. Our governor shared how we can support the workforce of today while also growing the workforce of tomorrow through a state-wide talent attraction program and universal pre-K.

“His forward-focused leadership not only maintains our momentum, but accelerates it, without ever compromising our Kentucky values - a hallmark difference between Governor Beshear’s agenda and that of the GOP supermajority. Instead of joining Kentucky Democrats in identifying ways to make life better for all, Republicans have actively worked to inflict hardships on those who can least afford it, spearheading out-of-touch measures that would deprive children of the SNAP benefits they need to survive and the public education they need to thrive.

“We call on elected leaders in Frankfort to support Governor Beshear as he works to deliver real results for Kentucky and make good things happen for our people.”
