Great news, Kentucky. We’ve been notified that the @USDA will fully fund SNAP benefits for the month of November. These funds help feed Kentucky families who need it most, and they should never have been delayed.

I was proud to join a multistate effort to release these funds in full. From the miracle of the fishes and the loaves, we’re called to feed our people and take care of one another. In Kentucky, we will always lead with love.

It's impossible to describe the devastation from yesterday's deadly plane crash. My heart is broken. My prayers are with all those affected, and I promise we will be there in the hours, days and weeks ahead. We will get through this together. We love you, Louisville.
