| Happy Saturday. ☕️ |
| Below are the top news stories from around the country - handpicked for you this week by the editors at the Free Telegraph! Washington Gov. and 2020 candidate Jay Inslee (ever heard of him??) is sticking taxpayers with the bill for his presidential vanity project. Contrast that with Gov. Bevin in Kentucky, who is doing great things to actually help taxpayers - not hurt them. Last but not least, read about a great new initiative Gov. Ricketts has launched to honor veterans! Happy reading! |

| Who Are Jay Inslee’s Largest Campaign Contributors? Washington State Taxpayers |
| What Happened: |
| Washington State taxpayers are footing the bill for Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee’s failing presidential campaign. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Since launching his quixotic 2020 campaign, Gov. Inslee has racked up a $4 million bill for his security detail. He’s also refused to reimburse the state - and by extension, its taxpayers. Should his constituents really be paying for him to travel around the country and campaign for a nomination he’ll never get? At this point, it’s just a taxpayer-funded vanity project. |
| What Happens Next: |
| We wait and see if Inslee breaks 1% in the polls. |

| Kentucky GOP Governor Matt Bevin Shatters Records With $20 Billion In Economic Investment |
| What Happened: |
| The Bevin Administration has brought more than $20 billion in business investments to Kentucky since 2015. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Jobs, jobs, jobs. The investments have spurred an ongoing creation of nearly 54,000 new full-time jobs across the Commonwealth. No small feat! |
| What Happens Next: |
| Gov. Bevin’s pro-growth policies will continue to improve the lives of hard-working Americans all over the Bluegrass State. |

| Nebraska GOP Governor Pete Ricketts Honors Cornhusker Veterans With New Initiative |
| What Happened: |
| Gov. Ricketts launched a new initiative aimed at preserving stories from Nebraskan veterans. The goal? Make sure their bravery and sacrifice are never forgotten. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| Honoring veterans ALWAYS matters. With this program, volunteers will interview veterans and record their stories. They’ll then be archived at the Library of Congress as part of its Veterans History Program. This initiative is an important part of Gov. Ricketts commitment to prioritizing Nebraska’s veterans. |
| What Happens Next: |
| So far, 2,000 stories from veterans in the Cornhusker State have already been collected - expect that number to grow! |
