I& #39;m a longtime champion of paid leave policies.

Over the past several years I& #39;ve led on the issue in the following ways:

I introduced the bill last year.

I have pre-filed a bill this year to provide paid parental leave to all Kentuckians.

Today, I will pre-file a more narrow bill to provide it to state employees.

In January, at 38 weeks pregnant, I hosted a documentary screening and discussion on paid leave.

Last week, I wrote an op-ed in the Courier Journal with @CassieHChambers on all of its benefits, including cutting infant mortality. https://www.courier-journal.com/story/opinion/2020/09/04/parental-leave-labor-day-support-labor-legislation/5719539002/">https://www.courier-journal.com/story/opi...

This Labor Day, support a different kind of 'labor' legislation to help new parents

Kentucky must seize this opportunity to implement paid parental leave to build a more resilient economy and healthier, stronger families.

I& #39;ll continue to work on this issue. I& #39;ll always care about this issue. Because I& #39;ve lived this issue.
