I want to tell you something:
You deserve great healthcare.
You deserve to not live in poverty.
You deserve fully funded public schools. You deserve quality housing, clean air, clean water, and internet. You deserve safe roads and bridges to walk on and drive over. You deserve rapid public transit. And you deserve justice and community safety.
But far too many of our politicians and lawmakers believe that asking for these things, or even wanting them to begin with, is radical.
What a joke.
So many lawmakers in Kentucky ignore us and tell us that we’re not deserving of these things. They say that wanting to feel safe and cared for — to lead a dignified life — is radical. All while they turn their backs on us to make themselves richer, more powerful, and more corrupt.
Look. I’ve lived in poverty. I’ve been unhoused. I’ve lost family members to gun violence. I am still paying off my student loans. And I know that when our politicians ignore our struggles, or wave them off as “radical” — our pain only continues.
That’s exactly why I’m running for Senate. Because something has to change. And I know that together, we have the power to change the future of Kentucky.
Thank you,
Charles
