Kearns for legislature

The Board of Trustees of the Teachers’ Retirement System has thanked Gov. Matt Bevin for his efforts to keep the state’s promise to teachers. The governor would like to do more, but Democrats such as Susan Westrom in the 79th District have prevented his agenda from moving forward on a balanced budget, educational reform and even an attempt to criminalize the selling of fetus body parts.

Kentucky doesn’t need Westrom. I urge voters in the 79th District to replace her with Ken Kearns.
