No one loved or served Kentucky better than Tatum Dale. She was by my side all throughout my time serving #KY06 in Congress until she went home to the Lord on Christmas Eve. Thank you @KYHouseGOP and @KySenate for honoring such a great Kentuckian, public servant, and our friend.

🚨WOW🚨@NateMorris only raised $600K in Q4 and polling shows he is statistically tied with a DEMOCRAT in KENTUCKY. What a complete disaster. We can’t risk Nate or @DanielCameronKY losing the Senate for President Donald J. Trump!

American Energy Dominance starts in Kentucky. When we unleash Kentucky coal, we power the future, slash energy prices, and bring good-paying jobs back home. I’m the only candidate in this race with a plan—and a record—of standing up for energy workers and KY coal.

For those conservatives tweeting out McConnell’s fall today and mocking him - I’ve got some thoughts: if you just started paying attention to politics in the last 4 years I’ll give you grace because you don’t know what the rest of us do.

.@barrforsenate defeated McGrath in 2018 despite being massively outspent in Kentucky's only competitive congressional district. He is the best GOP candidate to win again against the tens of millions of dollars out of state liberals will pour into this race. #KYSEN
Our democracy is under siege, cowards in Washington are bowing to Donald Trump, and Kentuckians are paying the price. Kentuckians deserve someone battle-tested and ready to fight for them on day one. I’ve spent my life stepping up when the mission was tough and the stakes were

Bring it on, Amy. This will be fun. I beat you once, and I’ll beat you again.
NEW: You may have heard the name before. Amy McGrath is seriously considering a 2026 run for US Senate in Kentucky, a source close to her & familiar with her thinking tells me. She raised historic amounts of $ in her 2020 loss to McConnell. https://t.co/1cqzM3Wp9K

Note to my party: @jimmykimmel is NOT the hill to die on. The affiliates spoke. You are reinforcing trench lines. I never thought I would say this, but follow @tedcruz and focus on outrageous Gov’t activism across the board, not a Hollywood comic. There is a difference.
