John,
I want you to be the first to know that I’m taking a hard look at running again to represent Kentucky in the U.S. Senate.
Today, we are officially launching an exploratory campaign committee.
I love Kentucky. We have so much strength, resolve, and potential.
When the power went out, we weathered the storm together. When the pandemic hit, we showed up for our neighbors with groceries. When our sister’s door got kicked in, we marched. That’s what Kentucky is about: coming together to solve the biggest challenges we face.
That’s what this election has to be about too. Kentucky has too many politicians who work for the wealthy and the powerful, while they ignore the rest of us.
This will be an extremely competitive race. We’re one of only a few states with a Democratic governor and two Republican senators. But, if we make a run for it, it’s going to take a whole lot of grassroots donations for us to win. So before we make our decision, I need to know how many of you would be on board.
John, if you want to see us run against Rand Paul, will you make a contribution today? Every donation today is especially important since what we raise in the first 48 hours will be an important public sign of the size and strength of our grassroots support.

Here’s something you need to know about me, John:
I grew up in one of the poorest zip codes in Kentucky. Both of my parents had to drop out of high school to help take care of my brothers and sisters. I’ve had to ration my insulin, and I’ve been homeless. My mom often went without eating so that I could. I’ve lived the struggle other politicians only talk about.
But I know that my family wasn’t alone in their struggles. From the hood to the holler, we all share the same hopes, dreams, struggles, and fears.
This is an opportunity to take back Kentucky. The challenges we face are relentless, but I know the solution — it’s us.
Together, we can build a better, brighter future for everyone in our Commonwealth. One where we all have the same quality health care as our politicians. Where we have more money in our pocket, and breathe clean air and drink clean water. Where we can go to sleep safe and sound without worrying about our door being busted down.
That world is possible, but it will mean defeating politicians like Rand Paul standing in the way.
If we make a run for it, it’s going to take a whole lot of grassroots donations for us to win. So before we make our decision, I need to know how many of you would be on board.
So, if you’re in, John, please make a contribution today to let me know. Like I said, what we raise in the first 48 hours will be seen by many as a strong sign of the depth of our support.
Kentucky is not a “red state.” It’s a disenfranchised state. It’s a commonwealth where a whole lot of people haven’t been heard in a long time. It’s a place where the number of people who don’t vote outnumber those who do. If we change that, we can and will send Rand Paul packing.
Let's make change,
Charles Booker
