Andy Beshear

To Steve and Jane Beshear, I am grateful for your wisdom and passion for helping the people of our great state. You have been wonderful parents.

I'm honored to have the trust and support of the United Mine Workers of America and the working families they represent.

Just like my kids, I was raised with our Kentucky values. We treat everyone with respect, and we look out for our neighbors.

Coal miners work hard and deserve our respect. They also deserve a governor who fights for policies that will give them a fair shot to support their families and get ahead. That's exactly what I'll deliver as governor.

We should all respect and understand how hard our families work every day - and I have a vision to lift up all our families because we can and should be doing so much better.

When we rebuild Kentucky and boost our economy, we need to do it the right way. That means treating our neighbors with the respect they deserve and making sure new growth actually puts more money in the pockets of workers.

My comprehensive health care plan will lower costs, strengthen Medicaid, and codify protections for people with pre-existing conditions into state law. That will lift up all working families. But our veterans face unique challenges and they deserve a governor who will deliver them specific solutions to expand access and increase options.

Health care should not be a partisan issue. Because health care is a Kentucky issue.

Whether they're in uniform today or retired, I'll fight to make it easier for our fire fighters and their families to earn a good living with dignity on the job, affordable health care, and a secure retirement.

While Matt Bevin only helps his special interest donors, I care about expanding access to affordable health care for our families and making sure workers have the training and skills they need to get good-paying jobs.

Health care is a human right, but Bevin doesn't understand that. He wants to let insurance companies deny care for people with pre-existing conditions, slashing coverage for chronic disease management, mental health services, maternity care and prescription drugs.

Kentuckians deserve a governor who will support affordable health care, a secure retirement, and respect the rights of workers like access to safe working conditions and wages that can support a family.

I'm fighting to do right by our neighbors by expanding access to affordable health care, improving public education, respecting our workers, and creating more good-paying jobs.
