I recently sat down with Bashir's lieutenant governor, Jacqueline Coleman, the former teacher who has a passion for education.

I asked her about Republican lawmakers plan to push for a constitutional amendment expanding school choice options in Kentucky.

How active will the administration be against that proposed constitutional amendment?

He doesn't the governor doesn't have the power to veto it because it's a constitutional amendment.

But how full throated will you get behind the the opposition to that?

Well, you know, I think there is a real opportunity here.

And in my mind, in the work that I've done my entire life in the classroom and as lieutenant governor, I've always believed that public education can and should be a bipartisan, nonpartisan issue.

It's truly about building the best commonwealth, the best economy, investing in kids that need it.

And that should be something that we should all be able to rally behind and get behind.

And in my mind, we have two options here.

You know, if if the General Assembly decides to move forward with a constitutional amendment that would allow vouchers or charter schools or whatever method they choose to move forward with, I think it's really important to note that the reason this is happening is because this law was struck down by the Supreme Court.

They have tried time and time again to get something like this through in.

It's unconstitutional.

So now they're looking at changing the Constitution.

That's really hard to do.

But what really is simple and the right thing to do is to make sure that every kid has access to the best education.

And I'm going to fight for that every single day.

I don't believe parents should have to take one more step to ensure that their kids are served the way that they need to be served.

I think they should be able to put their kids on the school bus every morning and drop their kids off at school every day and know my kid is going to be treated equal equally to every other child in Kentucky.

And we're giving our kids the best shot.

And that's what I'm going to be vocal about, and that's what I'm working towards.

And I don't care what party you're in.

I don't care what elected title you have.

I'm willing to work with whoever is committed to making that happen for our kids.

We also talked about what she plans to do after her second term, including whether or not she plans on running for governor.

You can hear her answer to that.

And see the full interview with the lieutenant governor this Sunday on Connections at 11:30 a.m. Eastern, 10:30 a.m. Central.
