We have breathtaking state and national parks, flourishing adventure tourism and culinary scenes and the world's best horses. And of course bourbon.
It's a true honor to have the endorsement of the Kentucky Professional Fire Fighters.
You cannot fan the flames and condemn the fire.
I'll be a governor who not only respects and listens to workers, but also fights for policies that make it easier for them to earn a good living and get ahead.
I don't want folks with pre-existing medical conditions - like asthma and diabetes - to be denied health care. I sure don't want to see our grandparents paying more for prescription drugs and women paying more just because of their gender.
The governor should be a public servant, who listens, brings people together and governs with compassion.
Like so many Kentuckians, I have been disgusted by the bullying and self-enrichment from Matt Bevin.
As attorney general, I've led a victim-centered office.
When Kentuckians work hard, they should be able to get ahead and earn a good living for their family.
I believe Kentucky has a big, bright future, with more good-paying jobs and opportunities for families to get ahead in every single one of our 120 counties.
Right is right and wrong is wrong. And you can't wait until something nasty and horrible happens to then claim it's wrong, while you've catered the support of certain groups for votes or other reasons.
I'm grateful to have the trust and support of Kentucky's Fraternal Order of Police.
As governor, I'll keep fighting for policies that will actually put more money in the pockets of workers, make it easier for everyone to get health care, and improve our public schools.
While Matt Bevin helps insiders, wealthy CEOs and special interests, I'm running to be a governor who works for Kentucky families who are still struggling to get ahead.
Voting is the bedrock of our democracy and we have a moral responsibility to protect and expand the right to vote - for everyone.
Health care is a human right, but Bevin doesn't understand that. He wants to let insurance companies deny care for people with pre-existing conditions, slashing coverage for chronic disease management, mental health services, maternity care and prescription drugs.
While Matt Bevin insults teachers and bullies our neighbors, I'm focused on restoring decency and bringing people together to get real results for our families in Eastern Kentucky.
Coal miners work hard and deserve our respect. They also deserve a governor who fights for policies that will give them a fair shot to support their families and get ahead. That's exactly what I'll deliver as governor.
Our approach to doing right by Kentucky's veterans starts by focusing on expanding job opportunities, especially in agritech and infrastructure development - two areas where Kentucky can thrive.
As attorney general, I'm helping lead a national effort to protect coverage for pre-existing conditions.
My guiding principle has always been that we do better when we respect one another.
The fact that someone owes money will not keep them from getting their voting rights back.
When we rebuild Kentucky and boost our economy, we need to do it the right way. That means treating our neighbors with the respect they deserve and making sure new growth actually puts more money in the pockets of workers.
Kentucky's first responders and fire fighters are true public servants who keep our communities safe.
I believe in living up to my promises of protecting families.
I am fighting on many fronts to protect access to affordable health care because I don't want to see medical bills continue to climb and millions of people to lose coverage.
Growing up, I remember taking trips with my family to Kentucky Lake and visiting Lake Cumberland, and camping with friends at Red River Gorge.
As governor, I'll focus every day on delivering for working Kentuckians like teachers and first responders all across the commonwealth.
I'll always put the best interests of our people first - and that includes expanding gaming to create new opportunities here in Kentucky.
Instead of attacking and dividing our people, I'll be a governor who is fully committed to respecting the hard work of our families by fighting for good-paying jobs and expanding access to affordable health care.
Health care should not be a partisan issue. Because health care is a Kentucky issue.
We all want Kentucky to be a place where our children and grandchildren want to - and can afford to raise their own children, keeping families together and growing our commonwealth. For the common good.
Prioritizing our children also means prioritizing their teachers. If Kentucky is to compete nationally - not to mention with our neighbors - we need to pay our teachers a living wage.
To Steve and Jane Beshear, I am grateful for your wisdom and passion for helping the people of our great state. You have been wonderful parents.
The hardest thing about running for office is not getting to spend enough time with my kids.
Kentuckians can see how I've lived my values by looking at my priorities as attorney general.
We all pay too much for health care. Far too many do not go to the doctor or fill a prescription because it simply costs too much.
I am working to ensure major corporations stop putting profits ahead of the health and safety of our Kentucky families.
I'm ready to do right by all of our families because that's the only way we can bring Kentucky together and actually make our peoples' lives better.
Our teachers and first responders spend their careers making Kentucky better, and they deserve the secure retirement they were promised.
Let's put our workers first, boost skills training and invest in growth sectors like agritech and advanced manufacturing.
I owe it to the people of Kentucky not to bow to terror, but to continue to do what is right for their families and for mine.
Those that have less money shouldn't have their voices squelched.
The brave men and women stepping up to tell their #MeToo stories have inspired a movement that pushes us to become better versions of ourselves.
Kentuckians deserve leaders who aren't afraid to do the right thing.
For too many Kentuckians, it's simply too hard to vote.
As attorney general, I've launched a specialized unit to protect voting rights.
As governor, I'll focus on these concrete steps to make it easier to vote and include every community in our democratic process.
It's an honor to have the support and trust of the Kentucky State AFL-CIO.
