Navy JAG. Prosecutor. 9th Generation Kentuckian. Running to represent every Central Kentucky family.
Heartbroken about the violence at Brown University and the anti-Semitic attack at Bondi Beach.
As a federal prosecutor, I’ve pursued hate crimes to protect victims. We must stand together against hatred and refuse to normalize violence.
My thoughts are with the victims, survivors, and families.

From teaching 8th graders in the Mississippi Delta, to serving on active duty in the Navy, to fighting for constitutional rights as a federal prosecutor, serving people has defined my career and who I am.
I’m running for Congress because I’m not done serving yet, and I’m hoping you’ll join me.

Great to get out to Berea last night and join the We Show Up community. When I’m in Congress, I’m committed to serving all of the amazing counties and communities in the Sixth.
It’s inspiring to see folks so energized, and it’s clear Central Kentucky needs bold, new leadership in this moment.

Unions helped build this great country and its middle class. We need to keep fighting for them in Congress.
It was great to hear directly from union members themselves this morning at the Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 452 HQ and learn about the issues impacting them here in Central Kentucky.

Medicaid and SNAP are essential programs that keep families fed and health care affordable.
In Congress, I'd be a vote to fully fund both and lower costs for Kentuckians.

Kentuckians are hurting, and tariffs are making it worse.
I'm running to advocate for the corn and soybean farmers, bourbon distillers, and so many others are suffering from this senseless trade policy.

Bourbon, spirits industry suffers 'significant downturn' after record year for exports
The U.S. spirits industry, including American whiskey like bourbon, has seen steep export decline in light of President Donald Trump's tariff policy.

I swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution, not to the whims of a president.
This kind of lawlessness is why I couldn’t stay with the DOJ, and why we need to demand better of our leaders.

Always enjoy hitting the road across the district! This week we were in Mt. Sterling and Versailles. So grateful to learn from local officials, community leaders, and future constituents!

The first veteran I ever met was Ted, my next-door neighbor and surrogate grandfather. Ted was a Marine in World War II in the Pacific Theatre and fought in the Battles of Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. He didn't talk much about his time over there, but what he did tell me had a profound effect on me.

Last night, I met Kelly from Fayette County. Kelly’s spouse is a dedicated public servant and current furloughed federal employee. Kelly told me that while she and her family are having to tighten their belts during the shutdown, she’s willing to make that sacrifice if it means that other... 🧵

Had a great evening talking to the Estill County Democrats in Irvine last week.
Just like other Kentuckians, they’re sick of business in usual in DC, including the budget bill that’s threatening their own hospital, Marcum & Wallace, right up the street.

Amazing turnout Thursday night for the Woodford Democrats’ dinner. Great to see so many friends and make new ones; especially loved catching up my old teammate Rocky! Woodford County is fired up and ready to flip the Sixth!

Thanks to everyone who said hi on the beautiful fall day we spent at Court Days in Mt. Sterling. A great opportunity to talk with Kentuckians about the changes they want to see in Washington.

Thousands of patriotic Kentuckians gathered in Lexington this weekend to send a clear message: there are no kings here.
Let’s keep this energy up! Only 379 days left in this race!

When we started this campaign, a lot of folks said an outsider couldn’t win. That this seat was too red & not worth fighting for.
Our first 75 days prove that KY-06 is ready for new leadership.
And we're building the grassroots team we need to win.

Thanks to Mercer County Dems for having me at their meeting last night.
People told me DC is leaving Mercer County behind. From the slow mail to the politicization of the military, Kentucky is concerned about the direction the country is heading. When I get to DC, I’ll help get us back on track.

Loved getting fired up with Dems from Montgomery, Clark, Powell, and others in Mt. Sterling last night.
Always great to hear my old Team Kentucky colleagues Lt Governor Jacqueline Coleman and Rocky Adkins speak, and to meet so many Kentuckians.

Spending resources going after political vendettas means less time and energy spent on real criminals.

The county hospital up the road? Threatened to close because of Big Ugly Bill cuts.
100+ jobs? On the verge of being slashed.
Just like in the rest of the district, folks here in Fleming County are fed up with DC corruption making prices higher and lives worse.
