Representing KY House District 41, councilperson-elect for Louisville Metro Council District 10.
Louisville, KY
Joined July 2017
I join with Gov. Beshear, Lt. Gov. Coleman, Congressman McGarvey, and all my House Democratic colleagues in calling for Rep. Daniel Grossberg to resign. He needs to put his constituents first by giving them a chance to send a new representative to Frankfort in January.

Federal elections aren't the only ones that matter. Join me tonight in supporting a phenomenal KY State Senate candidate, Molly Gene Crain: She has the BEST campaign video of this cycle (yes, including Kamala):

Rather than the convoluted question allowing the General Assembly to "provide financial support for the education of students outside the system of common schools," HB 2 should put Rep. Lockett's question to voters: "Do you want your tax dollars going to private schools?"

The General Assembly wants to control which statues are in the Capitol. Would they restore racist slaver and secessionist Jefferson Davis or someone else reprehensible? I was ruled "out of order" just for asking.

Today the House voted to crack down on SNAP criteria. If the Senate agrees, 24,500 KY households will lose food benefits.
Rep. Josie Raymond: "It's easy to forget that policy based on ideology affects individuals." Takes issue w/ savings limit of $2,750: "We want our general assembly to build up a healthy budget reserve fund, but we're literally going to prohibit families from doing the same thing."

Today the House voted to shatter our teenage labor restrictions, for the benefit of adults.
Rep. Josie Raymond says that if the goal of this is to get kids to stop playing video games, it misses the mark, but if the goal is to allow employers to exploit children, it's meeting that.
