The Kentucky State Fair's large pumpkin show keeps growing bigger and bigger! In just 7 days, we'll see who has earned 2026's blue ribbon! What do you think this year’s weight will be?

Run Comer Run!

[Republican Party of Kentucky @KYGOP]

Thank you, Congressman @JamesComer, for stopping by RPK HQ today!

Congressman Comer is a relentless fighter for Kentucky’s 1st District and as Chairman of @GOPoversight, he’s delivering the accountability Americans deserve, tackling Washington’s waste, fraud, and abuse head-on.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

🚨 LAST CALL: Applications for @USDA’s Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program for Beef Processing close TODAY at 11:59 PM!

We’re strengthening America’s beef industry by expanding local processing capacity and increasing access to high quality, American grown protein.

Very proud of this work to support our great ranchers and also Make America Healthy Again! 💪🇺🇸🥩

[Jonathan Shell @JShellKY]

Next time we do this you’ll be our Republican nominee for Governor. We’ll be months away from our Commonwealth having the leadership it deserves! Run Comer Run!

[James Comer @JamesComer]

Commissioner Jonathan Shell visited Stewart Home & School to officially declare July as Kentucky-Grown Cut Flower Month, recognizing the growers whose hard work brings beauty to communities across the Commonwealth.

[Kentucky Agriculture @kentuckyag]

This Independence Day, we celebrate the freedoms we cherish, the farm families who help feed our nation, and the values that have shaped America for 250 years.

From everyone at the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, we wish you a safe and happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

[Jonathan Shell @JShellKY]

Today we celebrate 250 years of American grit and greatness. Thanks to those who have defended and continue to defend our nation. Thank you to our farmers. For 250 years, they have fed America and remain the backbone of our great country.

God Bless America! 🇺🇸

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

🚨EFFECTIVE TODAY, the @EUCouncil eliminated tariffs on U.S. agricultural products under @potus’ historic trade agreement. 🚨

This is a MAJOR win for American farmers. In the final year of the previous administration, our agricultural trade deficit with the European Union swelled to more than $23 billion… nearly HALF of America’s entire global agricultural trade deficit.

This new deal will provide BILLIONS in new market access and export opportunities for our farmers, ranchers, and food producers. The latest trade forecasts show U.S. agricultural exports to the EU on track to hit a new all-time record in 2026!

This is real progress for American agriculture and rural communities across the country.

🚨JUST ANNOUNCED:🚨

Today, we're launching the Fertilizer Investment and Expansion for Long-Term Domestic Supply (FIELDS) Program—a $500 million investment to accelerate fertilizer production right here in America. 🇺🇸

We're prioritizing projects that are shovel-ready, financially viable, backed by private investment, and capable of delivering measurable benefits for American farmers.

Applications will be open for 45 days and must demonstrate strong financing, market demand, execution capabilities, and real production outcomes.

Our goal is simple: Build fertilizer plants in America. Produce fertilizer in America. Deliver fertilizer to American farmers.

America First means strengthening our domestic supply chain and reducing our dependence on foreign fertilizer.

[Republican Party of Kentucky @KYGOP]

This weekend, nearly 1,000 Republicans gathered in Lexington for our annual Statewide Lincoln Dinner.

From Paducah to Pikeville, Kentuckians from all walks of life came together to hear from our nominees and party leaders about the path to victory this November.

Republicans demonstrated this weekend that we are united, energized, and ready to win this fall. With a strong slate of candidates, a dedicated army of grassroots patriots, and momentum on our side, the Republican Party of Kentucky has never been stronger or better positioned to meet the challenges ahead.

Thank you to Commissioner @JShellKY for serving as our emcee, to @barrforsenate, @AlvaradoForKY, @EdGallrein, and Maria Rodriguez for addressing the crowd, and to all of our supporters who joined us Saturday evening and made the event a tremendous success!
