John — When I launched my campaign for governor in 2018, I knew
it was going to be an uphill battle. But we focused on doing right by
Kentuckians, improving access to health care, supporting our teachers,
creating good-paying jobs, and just basic decency.

And we shocked the whole country by winning an upset victory. We did it
against an avalanche of big outside money trying to prop up the most
unpopular governor in the country, who bullied rather than governed -- but
who enjoyed the huge advantages of incumbency and partisan lean.

We won that race by treating everyone with respect and dignity,
understanding that every community matters, and organizing neighborhood by
neighborhood, street by street. We knocked on doors that hadn't seen a
Democratic campaign in years. More than one million in fact.

Despite all the outside money, the false attacks, and divisive rhetoric,
our shared Kentucky values of decency and looking out for each other won
the day.

This was a huge grassroots victory. Thanks to your support, we came
together, beat the odds, and sent a message that Kentucky values transcend
partisanship. And Olivia, I'm ready to get to work to build another
winning campaign and continue making progress for Kentuckians in
Frankfort.

I continue to see the values of fairness, honesty, hard work, and doing
right by our neighbors -- the same Kentucky values I was raised on --
reflected across our Commonwealth. And I know we can win this re-election
by highlighting the real results we are delivering for people.

Since taking office, we've invested in our people and infrastructure,
restored voting rights, and protected healthcare access for nearly 100,000
Kentuckians -- all while working with leaders on both sides of the aisle
to get the job done. We've implemented our Better Kentucky plan to clean
up our water supply, improve internet access, and provide Kentucky
students the world-class public education they deserve. And we've created
thousands of family-supporting jobs all over the Commonwealth.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we did everything possible to keep
Kentuckians out of harm's way, save small businesses, and protect
essential workers. We put people over politics and made unpopular
decisions to help keep Kentuckians safe.

And now, even after the devastation of this global pandemic, we've had
some of our best economic years in recent history. We're creating more
jobs with better wages than ever before.

There's still so much work to do. But by coming together again and leaning
on our values, I'm confident that we can continue fighting for teachers
and our public schools. We can take on the opioid crisis and keep every
community across Kentucky safe. We can continue to expand affordable
health care and lower prescription drug costs. We can prioritize economic
recovery in the wake of COVID-19. We can make Kentucky the best it can be
by putting families first and investing in our communities.

I'm excited for you to be a part of this team. If you're ready to make the
Bluegrass state the best place it can be for generations to come, I want
you on board. There's so much more to accomplish, and I'll need you by my
side to do it -- [ [link removed] ]please, split a donation between my campaign and No
