Kemper for Congress

I have known Nancy Jo Kemper for several years and have worked with her on the boards of such organizations as the Interfaith Alliance of the Bluegrass.

Based on that knowledge and experience, I am confident that she would be an excellent replacement for Andy Barr. She is clear-headed, soft-hearted, effectively vocal and committed to serve her fellow humans in the most effective ways.

She has a deep understanding of the complex social issues impacting the lives of most Americans, and of effective and humane approaches to those issues. She is willing to listen to opposing points of views and reach common ground for joint action.

If elected, she will fight for the ordinary people and not special interests. She will make us all proud of our choice.
