Our Republican nominees are UNITED for Kentucky and ready to fight for our conservative values. This November, vote REPUBLICAN up and down the ballot to ensure a better future for our state.
Joe Biden's radical EPA rule is a direct attack on Kentucky farmers, our rural communities, and our shared values.
Don't take my word for it. Ask the U.S. Supreme Court!
Let's elect strong Republicans to Stop Biden and Save Kentucky.

Thanks to these young Ag leaders for all they do for our Commonwealth!
I’ve farmed in Garrard County my whole life.
If you name it, I’ve probably been in the fields with it. And let me tell you, some of it smells a lot better than others.
We can say the same about Biden’s White House.
'Manure’ would be putting it politely.

President Biden shows he is beholden to the radical left, not the people of Kentucky. His rejection of this bipartisan and commonsense legislation adds insult to injury for our farmers.
As the next Ag Commissioner, I will stand strong against any attack on our way of life.
