John,

Did you see the debate last night?

In my first opportunity to go face-to-face with my opponent, Mitch McConnell and the special interests' hand-picked choice, it was as clear as day that only one of us is here to represent Kentucky.

And, get this: my opponent actually said that his connections to Mitch McConnell and these allies (like big pharmaceutical companies) would make him a more effective, fair representative for the commonwealth of Kentucky.

Give me a break.

And it only got worse from there. Take my opponent's comments on supporting the bills from the General Assembly. He argued that the office of the attorney general's job is to be a blind pass-through for all laws from the legislature.

That's just wrong.

The attorney general must be an independent defender of Kentucky's constitution. Pandering to any group in an unconstitutional manner is not something the attorney general should ever approve of.

Then again, what else could he say? Once the talking points went away, there was a familiar theme with my opponent's plan:

When I asked why we should waste taxpayers' money defending unconstitutional acts? Silence.

When pressed by the moderator on his law firm's involvement with Purdue Pharma, the company at the heart of the opioid epidemic, let's say it again: Silence.

And when I noted that he's never tried a citation, never tried a jaywalking case?

One more time: Silence.

How can you lead a team of prosecutors when you have no idea what they're what they're up against? You can't.

It's pretty clear. This race is about experience, about recognizing what's right, not politically convenient or personally enriching.

Chip in and stand for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, not special interests.

I've led that office once before, I can do it again.
