Happy Labor Day! Today, we celebrate the workers who power our economy and strengthen our communities. Democrats will always fight for working families - fair wages, strong worker protections, and an economy that works for everyone.

Enough is enough. Kentuckians are ready for transparency, accountability, and real leadership. This November, don't sit on the sidelines. Hold them ALL accountable and make your voice heard at the ballot box. Local elections matter more than ever.

The courts held Bevin accountable under the law. Now it’s time for Kenton Countians to hold Stephanie Dietz and Steve Doan accountable at the ballot box.

Kenton County families deserve leaders who play by the rules, not politicians who rewrite them to protect their political allies. On November 3, send a message: vote Dietz and Doan out.
