What Kentucky needs more of and what Adam is doing about each one.
I’m fighting for good-paying jobs, strong worker protections, and the dignity of a secure retirement. Jobs are more than paychecks, they’re about the families they support and the futures they create. I’ll keep standing with working Kentuckians, not wealthy corporations, to build an economy that works for all of us.
Every Kentuckian deserves affordable, life-saving care and the freedom to make personal medical decisions without government interference. I passed legislation to lower drug costs and introduced the Compassionate Care Act to give mothers more options during nonviable pregnancies. I’ll keep working to build a system that puts patients first and defends your right to make decisions about your health.
I’ve voted for legislation to protect our kids and will keep fighting to raise teacher pay so we can keep our best educators here in Kentucky. I’m also proud to work with Governor Beshear on expanding access to childcare and delivering Pre-K for All.
As a combat veteran, I know the sacrifices our service members and their families make. In the legislature, I helped pass a law ensuring Kentucky’s National Guard troops and their families receive the honors and benefits they’ve earned. As the founder and chair of the bipartisan Veterans Caucus, I bring together leaders from government and veteran service organizations to craft bold, meaningful legislation.
I believe hyper-scale data centers in Kentucky must be held accountable and any legislation must include these core principles:
Kentuckians get a voice and a vote. That means public hearings and a vote by those living in the local community impacted – not politicians in Frankfort or Washington.
Full Public Transparency – NO backroom deals or NDAs.
NO cost to consumers/ratepayers for any infrastructure upgrades required or a rise in energy demand caused by the data center.
NO tax breaks! Kentucky families need the tax revenue far more than Big Tech Billionaires and giant corporations need another tax break.
Kentucky jobs for Kentucky workers. Any jobs created by a data center (construction or operation) must be filled by Kentucky workers, including our high-skilled labor union workforce.
Strong Environmental protections for our air, land and water, including noise abatement.
Any plan to build a data center must include a “decommissioning plan” for when that data center is no longer needed or closed.
