Now there are 14 people running for statewide office today.

14 people of different backgrounds and different experiences.

And you're about to hear from all 14 of them, right now.

We are lucky to live in the most beautiful.

State in the country.

We're meeting Kentuckians where they are.

You've got to go all corners of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

I'm getting out across the state.

This race in which I'm running has national significance.

You can't be team red or Team blue.

You have to be Team Kentucky.

Whenever I look at the circumstances that we have in the state of Kentucky, I see nothing but opportunity.

By the grace of God, we are.

On the precipice of history.

We are here to make real business decisions to help real Kentuckians in Kentucky.

It is our time to win.

I mean, this is the biggest governor's race in the country this year.

When you're on a historic winning streak, you don't fire the coach.

You don't somehow out the quarterback.

Going from attorney general to governor is really going from defense to offense.

I run towards problems and not away from them.

I'm willing to do whatever is necessary for the people here of the Commonwealth.

Listen, you've got to be able to govern for every family and take that partizan hat off the moment you're elected and do your best for everyone.

We want to make sure that this Commonwealth is a shining city on a hill, a model, an example for the rest of the nation to follow.

I have quite a bit of legislative experience and local government experience.

I try to do the next right thing and and see what comes.

Getting things done for Kentucky involves relationships, involves knowing people.

And I believe we've got those established and we will establish them even more as we work.

And so every challenge we face, I'll look at it through the lens of the kids in my classroom and their families.

And I also know that the future of Kentucky's economy is in our classrooms today.

I'm running for the very serious purpose of protecting your family and mine from violent crime, from the deadly drugs that we're seeing.

Dumping into our communities.

I have fulfilled every requirement in the Constitution.

Five times over and nearly 40 years of law practice.

I have been a state prosecutor and I have been the chief federal prosecutor appointed by the president of the United States.

I ask you to join me in living making Kentucky great.

Duty, honor, Kentucky.

There are many ways that we can be moving the state forward.

And that's really what I hope to do as secretary of state.

I want to protect our gains, protect all we've done to expand access for our people, and also protect all we've done to improve security as well.

I'll work across the aisle and with Governor Beshear to get things done.

As secretary of state.

You have to work with both sides, have to be respectful in this business.

I'm doing that every day.

I'll be a secretary of state for all Kentuckians.

I'd say it's in everyone's interest, regardless of party, that I stay in this job.

I would be the first treasurer in nearly 40 years elected that has any type of professional training or formal education in finance.

I am the only candidate on either side that has served in county office.

I'm the only present county officer running for state office.

And that's what's in the back of my mind is where are we moving as a commonwealth?

What do we need for the moment?

And can I can I do anything to help in that?

Kentucky spends too much.

It taxes too much, It borrows too much and it saves too little.

If you want to know what I will be like as auditor, just look at what I've been like as treasurer.

I'm just the most qualified person for the job.

I've got a background that has me ready to go to serve you as auditor.

I have really valuable skills in the marketplace that can be used for this job.

I really believe in fiscal responsibility.

You know, I'm someone who believes in financial literacy and being good with money, so it's the kind of job that I really do enjoy.

So it's a natural fit.

I care deeply about Kentucky and all Kentuckians.

Every Kentuckian votes for the Commissioner of Agriculture because it truly impacts every Kentuckians life.

When I look at agriculture and the reason that I'm running for this position is I see so much opportunity in the future of what we can grab.

I would say that I've spent my entire life preparing for this post, this position in this career.

You know, I'm a pretty authentic person.

I think there's not much put on to me, and that's the way I'm going to govern whenever I get in.

This race is.

A difference between vision and vision.

This is a race about crazy versus normal.

Kentucky is where woke goes broke.

I am Kentucky's daughter and I still contend today that I am the most qualified person who's your lawyer.

Tough as.

I run towards problems and not away from.

Them in the eyes of the nation are going to be in the Commonwealth.
