I just shared an op-ed in Newsweek that I need you to read.

Two years ago, when Republicans tried to strip away reproductive rights with Amendment 2, Kentuckians stood strong and voted NO. Now, they're back with another Amendment 2 — and this time, they're coming after our public schools. We need to act fast — will you make a donation of $15 or whatever you can afford to help us fight back?

Their "school voucher" scheme would drain $1.2 billion from our state's budget. That's the equivalent of almost 10,000 Kentucky teachers and school employees.

But here's what really got me: 63% of Kentucky counties don't even have certified private schools. This isn't about choice — it's about deliberately undermining our public schools, especially in our rural communities where these schools are often the largest employer and the heart of the community. Your support of $25, $50, or any amount that you can afford today will help us reach every corner of Kentucky with this crucial message — because every community deserves to know what's at stake.

Look at what's happening in other states:

Arizona is facing a $1.4 billion budget shortfall
Indiana's voucher costs exploded from $15.5 million to $300 million
Ohio spent $250 million on vouchers only to see public schools outperform private ones

As your Party Chair, I'm sounding the alarm now. Out-of-state super PACs are flooding Kentucky with misleading ads. As Governor Beshear says, they "ain't from here" Yet, they're trying to tell us how to run our schools.

Will you help me fight back? Please chip in — anything helps — so we can get this message to every corner of the Commonwealth.
