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.
