(1/7) I'm humbled that KY Democrats have nominated me to take on Mitch McConnell in November, and I can't wait to get started to send him into retirement.
Thank you to this team. Without you, we wouldn’t be getting ready to give Mitch the fight of his political life.
(2/7) Thank you to every candidate who stepped up to run in this race.
Like so many, I am inspired by the powerful movement Charles Booker built to fight systemic racism and injustice and rightfully demand long-overdue action and accountability from our government & institutions.
(3/7) I commend Mike Broihier, who has served his community & country in so many ways & was dedicated to representing every Kentuckian. I am proud to have been in this race with these candidates. I look forward to seeking their help, guidance and advice for the fight ahead of us.
(4/7) Our system isn’t working for everyday Kentuckians, and we need officials who have the courage to meaningfully tackle the legal, educational and health inequities that continue to prevent true racial and socio-economic equality.

That’s the kind of senator I intend to be.
(5/7) As a woman in the military, I learned quickly that I’d have to fight the establishment to succeed. That’s what is needed to end the grip of special interests on our government and achieve equal pay, equal justice, affordable health care for all, & voting right protections.
(6/7) First, we have to remove Sen. McConnell from office. The only way to overcome these odds is by building something bigger than just one candidate. I will work hard to earn the trust and support of all Kentuckians, including those who voted for someone else last week.
(7/7) There is far too much at stake, and it’s on all of us to fight for it.
Last November, Kentuckians didn’t hesitate to replace an incompetent and unpopular incumbent. This November, we’re going to do it again.

Now, let’s go win this thing.
