Friend, today happens to be the birthday of one of Kentucky’s favorite sons: Abraham Lincoln.
That’s right: Less than 100 miles from our home here in Georgetown is the site of the log cabin where our 16th president was born—ten score and eleven years ago. And to honor Abe today, my kids attempted a little performance of one of his greatest speeches. We went through several takes, but I think the result speaks for itself.
Watch our tribute to President Lincoln now—then, will you help build the kind of campaign that honors his ideals, his integrity and his legacy by chipping in today?

Our video may be lighthearted, but I’m going to get serious for a minute. With our democracy in crisis, celebrating Abe Lincoln and what he stood for couldn’t be more timely.
To me, a marker of character is holding to one’s ideals when they’re most deeply under siege. Even in the lowest moments of the Civil War, Lincoln never lost his commitment to healing our divisions or fighting for the democracy he held dear. As he said while honoring the fallen of Gettysburg:
“It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.”
Over 150 years later, Lincoln’s leadership remains a North Star for me in my career and in this race, and a reminder of the “unfinished work” that he pursued during his own too-short life—the vision that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Please join me (and my kids) in celebrating the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln today—then, if you can, chip in to help us build the campaign that will defend our current democracy by winning this November:
