Get StartedHuman life is a gift unlike any other life. I support policies that show we treasure life from conception to natural death, including protecting the unborn, requiring paternal responsibility, equipping parents in crisis to thrive while choosing life, improving maternal health and childbirth outcomes, eradicating human trafficking and child abuse, and increasing access to quality education, mental health support, safe and warm housing, and help to overcome addiction. Learn more
Work together with nonprofit organizations and businesses who pour time and resources into helping released and reformed offenders find a prosperous, safe path forward. Learn more
Create incentives for businesses in high-crime areas to join forces with local law enforcement by increasing their security, both with technology and trained personnel. Learn more
Unite the community with LMPD as a team with strong community policing programs. Learn more
I support the passionate prosecution of violent offenders and the type of detective work that brings down theft rings that plague our city, but our Persistent Felony Offender law is filling our prisons with inequity, huge expense, and drug offenses without regard to addiction and what strategies might actually help. I support reforming PFO laws to focus on violent crime and offenders who have been imprisoned twice. Learn more
Incentivize training for police officers in de-escalation, mental health support, and victim advocacy the way we incentivize add-on endorsements for educators. Learn more
Fund technological advancements in monitoring high-crime areas for faster solve rates and convictions. Learn more
I support policies that help our businesses thrive, because they employ our workers in good jobs and are part of what we love about our neighborhood. We must support them and tax less, fine less, take less, so they can give more. Learn more
I support allowing parent opt-out of testing at every level. It is a colossal waste of time and resources when spent on the children who don’t need it, with parents who don’t want it. Learn more
I support any changes that consolidate bureaucratic, superfluous high-level district administrative positions into area-specific expertise advisors, including hiring and empowering district subject specialists and identifying and incentivizing teachers who specialize in innovation in specific areas. Learn more
I support the November ballot initiative to amend the Kentucky Constitution to allow the Legislature to implement school choice. Learn more
I support amending recent changes that improved the influence superintendents have over curriculum options to include the “district or school specialists in a given field, where such exist.”. Learn more
Support carefully crafted charter school and voucher legislation to bring Kentucky on par with other states with robust school choice (including quality public schools). Learn more
I support eliminating testing for kindergarten or first-grade learners except by special request from a parent or teacher. Learn more
I support medical cannabis provided the legislation clearly enables a medical professional (doctor) to dose a carefully produced medicine that has been scientifically verified to treat a particular condition. I think we are there or nearly there on many conditions for adults, but it’s unclear that medical cannabis has any potential for treating children (beyond the already approved Epidiolex). We need more research on that (also the FDA’s statements) before we legislate the possibility. Learn more
I support policies that ensure open and fair pricing policies across healthcare needs, including copay caps. I support policies that enable medical professionals to provide quality care without crippling Medicaid or families in health crises. Learn more
I support policies that will help District 41 look more like the values we espouse, including programs that transition people out of government assistance, empower minority students to train in high-income professions, promote festivals that bring minorities into our district to experience its beauty and friendliness, shore up robust fair housing laws, incentivize minority homeowners who move to a less diverse neighborhood, support child-arrival undocumented immigrants (“Dreamers”) in their pursuit of the best education Kentucky has to offer, and expand the availability of affordable housing in the district.
