As we near the end of the calendar year, I’ve been reflecting on my freshman term serving the people of KY-03 in the House.

This is kind of a longer email, John, and while I’d really appreciate you taking the time to read it, I get it if you’re in a hurry to start the weekend — but feel free to chip in a grassroots donation toward our $25,000 End of Year goal before closing out!

I’m grateful to have the opportunity to fight on behalf of Kentucky families, pushing policies and legislation that will benefit our state and our communities.

Although it hasn’t always been easy, I’m truly grateful, John, even in the hard moments.

Especially in those harder moments.

Kentuckians have faced tough times before, and when we do, we see the best in people as our communities come together to help one another.

Whether it's a natural disaster, a once-in-a-generation global pandemic, or economic hardship, Kentuckians look out for their neighbors.

I’m not going to sugarcoat things: With Trump and his allies securing a Republican trifecta in Congress and the White House, we’ve got some real challenges ahead. They’re going to try to divide us and push a hateful, dangerous agenda.

But if we start putting in the work right now, I’m confident that we can mitigate some of the GOP’s worst policies and set the stage for a storybook comeback over the next two years.

But I need your help to dig in and lay that foundation, John.

That’s why our $25,000 End of Year goal is so important, because we need resources to come out of the gate fast in 2025. Can I count on you to chip in $25 (or whatever you can spare) before you get your weekend started?

Thanks for staying in the fight, John.
