Kemper for 6th District

Nancy Jo Kemper’s true and consistent voice in Central Kentucky provides a congressional candidate in whom we can take pride.

Her 30-year history of consensus-building makes her the perfect candidate to seek the Democratic Party nomination.

When I learned of her interest in the congressional seat, I knew I could support her without reservation. She knows the difficulties of raising a family as a single parent. She realizes the broad scope of the addiction crisis. She sees the disenfranchised and the disillusioned.

She knows how government can assist families and children, she knows about improving infrastructure, environmental issues and veterans affairs, and sees the global picture.

As a lifelong educator, I appreciate her commitment to improving the lives of children. For small towns to thrive and cities to be vibrant, we need good jobs, safe water and environmental programs, intelligent gun regulations, and national support for the arts. Kemper brings to her campaign expertise that enables her to build bridges, not walls.

Central Kentucky needs a representative in Congress who has the best interests of our whole district at heart. Vote for Kemper in the May primary.
