Over the years, I’ve been proud to stand on the picket lines with teachers, on the railroad tracks with coal miners, with workers at Churchill Downs.

Together, we held the line for fair wages, the right to unionize, sick days and paid family leave, and for a shot at bettering our children’s future. Because that’s what we do in Kentucky. It’s part of who we are. It was in our hills where the labor movement got its legs, and we’ve been holding the line ever since.
On July 26, 1973, KY Brookside Coal Miners walked off the job and went on strike. After 13 months, they won and secured a contract. In 2019, when I stood on the tracks in Harlan with Blackjewel miners, I felt that same fighting spirit.
That’s the kind of fighter I’ll be in the Senate. The workers I’ve met are the very reason why I’m running this election to replace Rand Paul. Recently, Rand introduced legislation that would nationalize anti-union policies. Legislation that has proven to reduce worker pay and put more money in the pockets of the rich. Together, we must vote out politicians like Rand who are funded by companies that benefit from his anti-union agenda.
I know if we keep this momentum up we can deliver the changes workers urgently need in our country. Will you make a $5 donation right now and show your support for our pro-worker movement?

I’ve always believed that our fates as Kentuckians are intertwined.
The fight for higher wages is connected to the fight for clean water. The fight for reproductive healthcare is connected to the fight for racial justice. Because an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.
We’re so proud of the pro-worker movement we’re building. This is exactly the kind of momentum we need to make our voices heard this election and replace Rand Paul.
Will you chip in $5 or anything you can right now to help us grow this momentum? Every dollar you give helps us contact more voters across Kentucky and amplify our message for people-first change.
Let’s keep holding the line,
Charles
