Over the past several days, I’ve been deeply inspired by the people and places of Eastern Kentucky. From stepping into a mine at Portal 31 and feeling the weight of this region’s proud history, to sitting down with someone I greatly admire, Representative Richard White, to standing at Kentucky’s highest peak and taking in the beauty of the land—this journey has been one of awe and gratitude.

Through @AFPKentucky ’s Eastern Kentucky tour, we’ve seen what it truly means when people come together to make a difference. In Powell, Clark, Rowan, Pike, and Harlan counties, we’ve met individuals, local governments, churches, advocates, and community leaders who are not waiting for change to come from the top down—they’re building it from the ground up. They’re living out the very spirit of what Americans for Prosperity stands for: that when people are empowered, barriers are removed, and communities unite around shared values, lasting progress follows.

Everywhere we’ve gone, we’ve witnessed grit turning into hope. Families, entrepreneurs, and local leaders are creating opportunity through perseverance. They’re showing that real change comes from people who believe in themselves and their neighbors—those who are willing to step up, take ownership, and lead.

What we’ve seen in Eastern Kentucky is a testament to the power of people helping people, the dignity of work, and the belief that every person has the potential to contribute to something greater than themselves.

We cannot wait to share this story of perseverance, prosperity, and resilience—the story of a proud region and its people who remind us all what it means to stand strong together and build a brighter future for Kentucky.

I want to personally thank Eddie Barnes, Teddy Lacy, Jenell Brewer, Michele DeLeon, Shaping Our Appalachian Region Inc, Dan Mosley, Greg Elkins (Happy birthday, BTW!), Richard White, Emily White, Valerie White, Portal 31 Mine Exhibit, Morehead State University, Debbie Tipton, Natural Bridge State Resort Park, Lisa Johnson, Drake Taylor, Clay City Fire Department, Powell County Emergency Management , City of Winchester, KY Community Information, Rowan County Fiscal Court, and Dylan Lambert for all your hospitality and gracious welcome! ❤️

🚨 Illegal Immigrant Protected by Sanctuary City Murders Innocent Kentuckian 🚨

Gildardo Amador Martinez, who the Chicago ICE field office has confirmed to me is here illegally, was arrested Sunday morning for murder, attempted r*pe, and first degree assault after he killed a 15 year-old who attempted to stop this monster from r*ping his mother. He also shot and injured another child.

I’m FURIOUS this animal had any opportunity to hurt an innocent person. This is particularly egregious because Martinez was ARRESTED in Louisville two years ago for driving without a license and insurance… but Louisville is a SANCTUARY CITY, so Martinez was released back onto our streets.

Louisville protected Gildardo Amador Martinez, and Martinez used that protection to attempt to r*pe a woman, and shoot her son dead after he tried to protect her. While Martinez pulled the trigger, Louisville’s sanctuary policy is why he’s still here.

We MUST crack down on illegal immigration, BAN sanctuary cities forever, and enable citizens to hold governments that harbor illegals accountable.

May God provide rest to the victims, and comfort to all who know them. And may justice be swift and BRUTAL to Gildardo Martinez.

We are locked in and ready to override Andy Beshear’s vetoes. 🇺🇸

First up: HB 495, which prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars for gender reassignment surgery or cross sex hormones. It also nullifies Beshear’s “conversion therapy” executive order.

Proud to stand with @moreheadstate and Kentucky’s comprehensive universities!

[Michael Frazier @Mr_FrazierKY]

To every student attending @wku, @nkuedu, @eku, @murraystateuniv, @moreheadstate, @KyStateU:

You worth as much as a student attending @universityofky and @uofl.

Unfortunately, @UKYpres and @ULPresSchatzel think you are worth less than their students.

Why? They want more money for their salaries.

It’s time to restore equilibrium to #KyHigherEd and performance funding.

If you support the comprehensives, you have to support Rep. White’s #HB238
