"Leadership sometimes means knowing when to make space for others to serve and when to put the good of the city above personal goals.”

My faith teaches me three things:
We are all children of God.
We are to love our neighbors as ourselves.
We are all each others' neighbor.

This fall, don’t just vote to support KY’s public schools.
Vote for the candidates who are committed to defending them.

My faith teaches me that everyone is a child of God, deserving of love. Our differences should not divide us; they should bring us together to listen, to learn and to lift up one another. Remember: Life is short. Keep doing good things and be kind to each other.

I’m a Christian.
3 things I don’t want in our public schools:
1. Hungry kids going without food.
2. My religion imposed on kids because of a self obsessed political movement.
3. Hungry kids going without food thinking that’s what God wants because of said political movement.

Average teacher salary: 41st
Starting teacher salary: 45th
Pay for bus drivers, janitors, etc: 47th
Low pay not only makes life harder on school employees and teachers, it contributes to a teacher shortage that's bad for kids and public ed as a whole. kentuckylantern.com/2024/05/…

School choice means the schools choose, it isn’t about giving parents options.
Tax dollars should not be funding selective practices that exclude; they should be funding the schools who actually have special education departments & enroll every kid regardless of background.

The purpose of school vouchers is "to throw the whole (public school) system in the trash." That is a direct quote from this bill's sponsor.
Reminder: about 90% of Kentucky's kids attend public school & many don't have another option in their community.

People often ask, "What is the hardest part of your work?"
Today my answer would be that there is still no funding for universal pre-k, with record surpluses and 2 days left in the session.
That's what I want for Evelynne and every Kentucky child. Our families deserve better.

Our new survey with @kyvoices4health shows Kentucky parents are cutting back on essential needs, delaying major purchases, going into debt, changing jobs, using savings and putting off having additional kids to afford child care.

"School choice" is really the school's choice, not yours.
Picking and choosing which students can be accepted, all while padding the pockets of private, unaccountable schools with taxpayer dollars.
Kentuckians deserve better than school vouchers.

HB 5 is based on the claim that Kentucky is engulfed in a crime wave. The facts do not support that claim. #kyga24 kypolicy.org/crime-statistic…

We're pushing an 11% raise for ALL educators in Kentucky.
That's not just for teachers, but also bus drivers, cafeteria workers, janitors, aids – everyone who helps our kids learn every single day. It takes a village, and they all deserve to be paid closer to what they deserve.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan teaches us that we should love our neighbors, and the Golden Rule tells us that everyone is our neighbor.
To every LGBTQ+ Kentuckian: You belong here.

KY state leg GOP:
Restricts SNAP benefits
loosens child labor laws
Wants to give away public dollars to private schools
Wants to make LGBTQ discrimination ok.
Guts DEI without even knowing how it helps so many.
Backs "crime bill" that is just evil.
I truly am disgusted.
Brandon Long retweeted
I've seen firsthand how much our educators care for Kentucky's kids. Now it's our turn to take care of our educators.
An 11% raise across the board: Let's get it done.
Brandon Long retweeted
The countless failures of the school voucher scam are mounting all around us. That's because public dollars belong in public schools for public education.
