You know what's really a national emergency?

- Poverty
- Gun Violence
- Climate Change
- Mass Incarceration
- Access to Healthcare
- Income Inequality

These are issues that our country should be working to solve.

Attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for Valley High School’s Industrial Maintenance Program. Parts from our last project made a conveyor that will help prepare youth for technical, high $$$ careers.

JUST IN: @HouseGOP sided with @POTUS and voted down @RepMikeQuigley's effort to restore election security grants that prevent hostile powers like Russia from hacking our elections. #ProtectOurDemocracy

As much as I've tried to avoid jokes about our crumbling democracy....

Today @HouseBudgetGOP are considering their “Budget for a Brighter American Future,” which makes extreme cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, education, infrastructure, and other critical programs in order to pay for the #GOPTaxScam. Brighter yes, but for billionaires only. #GOPBudget

This is the cost of @realDonaldTrump’s reckless trade policies. Tariffs from Mexico on bourbon and bacon. Mexico is Kentucky’s fifth-largest international trading partner for exports. https://t.co/QdR89Tb69W

Attended the JCPS School Board meeting last night. Very pleased the board voted to appeal the state takeover. Good news but still a fight ahead.

Didn't think I was going to stop supporting our teachers and children just because I lost an election? 😎

Met this cutie named Coco and her loving owner while canvassing last night. Did you know Kentucky is ranked as the worst state in the US for animal protection laws 10 years in a row? I want to change that.

According to Indiana, we are a third world country. Let's invest in Kentucky so that we can be the best. https://t.co/LgNt2MdBZc #Penny4StateRep #PennyMakesCentsD30

[James Penny @jameshpenny]

KY Legislators VOTE NO to HB 169! This "anti-gang" bill will only worsen racial disparities in our justice system. Press Conf at @LouisvilleUL 10am TODAY!

@BlackJDPhD Isn't that why the FBI raided Cohen's office? To find Hillary's deleted emails?!?

[James Penny @jameshpenny]

Since Kentucky is in such a financial bind that we have to remove our educator's pensions, then why don't we legalize marijuana and/or gambling to increase our state's revenue stream? That's a win-win for everyone. #Penny4StateRep #standwithteachers https://t.co/sk1b4ebPIy

We live in a country where our president consistently activates his freedom of speech, but his fellow Americans have to be censored? Does that make sense? https://t.co/CiOlPmIJU9 #Penny4StateRep #PennyMakesCentsD30

#Monday Motivation I'm ready for a better tomorrow. Where our children are receiving an A+ education in a safe school. Where women are paid the same as men. Where we are all united in the USA. Does that make me crazy? Or does that make sense? #Penny4StateRep #PennyMakesCentsD30

[James Penny @jameshpenny]

And so it begins... https://t.co/t2zHlazipl How about we bring paddles back to schools instead of adding guns? #Penny4StateRep #PennyMakesCentsD30

@DrRickyLJones @yarmuth @KWCosby It's long overdue.
