Strong Communities
My argument isn’t for government to do everything for people. Rather, for government to make strategic investments that give people the ability to do more for themselves.
People should be able to see where their tax dollars go.
That means safe roads and bridges. Reliable water and utilities. Broadband. Transportation. Emergency services. Schools. Parks. Libraries. Healthcare access. Economic opportunity.
Infrastructure isn't glamorous, but functioning infrastructure is one of the foundations of a functioning society.
Rural communities also need transportation options. A person shouldn't lose a job, miss a doctor's appointment, or become isolated simply because they cannot drive or do not own a reliable vehicle.
I support exploring regional and rural transportation systems that connect people with employment, healthcare, education, shopping, and community services.
I also believe public utilities and public spending should ultimately serve the public. Kentucky should scrutinize deals involving large corporations, demand accountability when taxpayer money is involved, and prioritize investments that create measurable benefits for the people who actually live here.
