It was a joy to spend this afternoon speaking with the 2025 class of Leadership Lexington about local government and how we can all make tiny changes that have a big impact! 💙

One year ago, my neighbors in District Four put their faith in me to serve as their Councilwoman.
It remains the honor of my life.
Our campaign dared to believe that Lexington can be a city that works for ALL of us—not just a select few.
One day at a time, we’re making that belief a reality.

Had a great time passing out candy to students at Southern Elementary’s (indoor) trunk-or-treat tonight! 🎃👻
Many thanks to the remarkable teachers, staff, parents, and volunteers who came out to give our kids a wonderful night of Halloween fun.

Had a great time speaking at the KY AFL-CIO’s Young Workers Summit this morning about how we can build a future that works for ALL of us—not just the ultra-wealthy.

Today, Council unanimously approved funding for a roundabout feasibility study, traffic circle quick build program, and crosswalk signal improvement study.
I couldn’t be more proud.
I know it’s hard to feel right now, but I promise—we can still do good things when we show up and do the work.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death, political leaders have rightfully called for an end to political and gun violence.
But many have done so while, in the same breath, whitewashing the violent rhetoric that Kirk espoused and calling for more violence.
That is unconscionable and it’s dangerous.

It was a blessing to attend the Bluegrass Central Labor Council’s annual #LaborDay picnic.
Working people are what make our city and our commonwealth great.
I’ll always stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them in the fight for fairness, safety, and dignity for all workers.

Last night, Council passed my Solar ZOTA amendments, which will help prevent pollution, protect our soil, and preserve our land.
Today, I met with local ag leaders to tour their facilities and discuss their needs.

As a kid, I always struggled to sleep.
Usually, I’d lay awake watching The Black Parade is Dead!, in awe as Gerard Way sang “you should have raised a baby girl, I could’ve been a better son.”
That kid is still a part of me—and she can’t believe she gets to see The Black Parade in person tonight 🖤🤘

There’s nothing like the first day of school.
I was grateful to join the students, teachers, and staff at Southern Elementary today to welcome everyone back—I even got to help out with lunchroom duty!
Wishing our FCPS students, teachers, and support staff a phenomenal first day and school year 📚💙

I used to be afraid of birthdays, but with time I’ve realized what a gift it is to be able to put another year under my belt.
Thank you so much to everyone who’s made this past year so unforgettable!
And friendly reminder—the only “trans agenda” is an average life expectancy.

This July 4th, we can’t mistake nationalism for patriotism.
We can’t allow the weaponization of power to be disguised as “love of country.”
And we can’t let American flags hide the unimaginable assault that GOP extremists and President Trump are unleashing on our neighbors today.

I represent tens of thousands of my neighbors in Fayette County.
I couldn’t live with myself if I stripped away their access to food and healthcare.
Our Congressmen feel differently.
They don’t give a damn about you or me—they only give a damn about themselves and their billionaire donors.

Ten years ago today, marriage equality became the law of the land—in large part, due to six KY couples who stood up to a system that refused to recognize their humanity.
Without them, my partner and I would not be afforded the privileges we are today.
They proved that #LoveAlwaysWins.
