Thank you @kytreasurer Mark Metcalf for participating in our Bourbon Barrel Time Capsule. I'm personally a satisfied customer of his Unclaimed Property program and encourage you to give it a try at kyclaims.unclaimedproperty.c….
Today, I joined @KYSecState Michael Adams for his time capsule initiative as we prepare to make history with Kentucky’s first-ever Unclaimed Property Week, Sept. 21–25.
Now is the time to look. Your hidden treasure could be waiting! 💰

ALT A graphic promoting National Voter Registration Day. It features a quote about the importance of participation for democracy, attributed to Steve Simon, Secretary of State, Minnesota. Below, there is a mention of Michael Adams, Secretary of State, Kentucky. Both individuals' portraits are included. The background is blue, with text in white, blue, yellow, and green.
Glad to tell American Legion District 1 about my formative experience in Boys State 1993, and to congrats Carlisle County’s nominee to Girls State.
RIP. Mark Vanderhoff was smart, thorough and fair, and bold while still being polite. He will be missed professionally and personally. This has been a bad week for Kentucky journalism.
Kentucky has lost one of its best reporters and one of its finest people.
Mark Vanderhoff was a consummate professional who seemed born to do the job he did. He listened with real interest, treated people with respect and cared about telling their stories well. Our Senate Majority Caucus members and staff had the privilege of seeing those qualities in our work with him.
Mark helped bring the work of the Kentucky General Assembly into Kentuckians’ homes, helping people understand the decisions that affect their lives. We appreciated the care he brought to that responsibility. Just as much, we appreciated the person we got to work with along the way.
There is a particular sadness in knowing that he will no longer be here to ask the next question. We will miss him, and our hearts are with his family as they face a loss far deeper than ours.
Our heartfelt condolences go to Mark’s wife, his two children, his parents and his entire family, as well as his colleagues at @WLKY and all who loved him.
Thank you, Mark, for the stories, the conversations and the memories. We are grateful our work brought us together.
In lieu of flowers, his family asks that you consider a contribution to one of the charities that supported them during his illness. You can find those organizations in the obituary linked in the thread below.

Kentuckians who cast ballots in November could get a unique new way to show off their patriotic pride.
Here's which design won: wlwt.com/article/kentucky-i-…
The voters have spoken, and we have a winner: Ryker Asher of Bush Elementary School in Laurel County. Congrats Ryker! (I know how good it feels to get the most votes of any candidate statewide.) – at Frankfort, KY
Choose wisely.
Yes, Kentucky has a governor's race in 2027. No, it isn't the only election to watch.
The race to follow Michael Adams as secretary of state is on. Took time this week to talk to people who are already campaigning along with others who are considering it courier-journal.com/story/ne…
Come see us at @kystatefair. You never know whom you might bump into.
