Education is key to breaking cycles of poverty and creating a pathway of opportunity for more Kentuckians. I was proud to sign bipartisan legislation funding full-day kindergarten, which will positively impact our children and fuel transformational change.

Today around 3:30, our beloved Mother Goose house collapsed.

This was due to age and the stress added by the recent ice storms and flooding.

She will be back. We will definitely need your help. Updates will come as soon as we know.

She will be back.
