Affordability
Peace of mind for Kentucky families—health care, child care, and good jobs close to home.
What I believe
Providing peace-of-mind helps our productivity Kentucky families should be able to stay healthy and keep working without constant worry about medical bills or child care.
Affordable, reliable health care and child care are essentials—key to strong families and a strong workforce.
Opportunity should be close to home. When local businesses grow and the right jobs come here, our communities thrive.
Why this matters
Rising premiums, prescription costs, and out‑of‑pocket bills force families to delay care or go into debt.
Lack of safe, reliable child care keeps parents—especially mothers—out of the workforce and strains household budgets.
When growth benefits outsiders more than neighbors, we lose young people and weaken our small businesses.
What I’ll do
Lower health costs and expand access
Support transparency for hospital and insurer pricing so families know costs up front.
Strengthen primary care, mental health, and addiction services—especially in rural areas—so people get care before emergencies.
Back prescription cost relief, including generic competition and insulin price caps.
Make child care reliable and affordable
Expand child care assistance and stabilize centers so slots are available where families live and work.
Streamline licensing and support for in‑home providers while maintaining safety standards.
Encourage employer‑supported child care and shift scheduling policies that help working parents.
Grow paychecks close to home
Prioritize projects that create family‑supporting wages without hidden subsidies that raise household bills.
Invest in workforce training, apprenticeships, and pathways from high school to local careers.
Support small businesses with simplified permitting and access to capital, keeping dollars circulating locally.
My commitment to you
Every policy will be measured by one test: does it lower costs for families and make it easier to live, work, and raise kids in Meade County and Radcliff? If not, it doesn’t pass.
