For too long, rural Kentuckians like us have been overlooked and underserved by the folks in Frankfort. Over the past decade, the Kentucky GOP has held the reins of power, making decisions that do not always reflect the needs of our families, our farms, and our small towns. But things can change, and that change starts with electing representatives who truly understand and fight for us. That is why I am asking for your support to send me, Stella Pollard, to the State Senate.
The Reality for Rural Communities
We are proud of our Kentucky roots. We wo0rk hard whether it is in agriculture, small businesses, local schools, or healthcare. But over the years, we have seen schools close, healthcare options shrink, and opportunities dry up. The GOP’s focus on policies like cutting Medicaid and pushing school vouchers has made it harder for many families to get the services they depend on.
And let us be honest. Mega private schools are not going to open their doors in rural Kentucky to fix our education problems. What we need are strong public schools right here at home that serve our kids and our communities.
Rural hospitals struggle to stay open, and too many of our neighbors face the impossible choice of traveling hours just to see a doctor. Our kids deserve strong public schools, not programs that drain resources away from the classrooms that serve them.
Why Democrats Can Do Better for Us
Democrats have always stood for investing in people and communities. We believe in protecting and expanding healthcare access, fully funding public schools, and building local economies that work for working families, not just big corporations. We stand with the unions that represent the hardworking men and women who keep our communities running — from teachers to nurses to factory workers. Unlike the GOP, we do not see rural Kentuckians as an afterthought; we see you as the backbone of this state.
I am from here. I understand our struggles because I live them too. I am committed to making sure our voices are heard in Frankfort, pushing for policies that help keep our hospitals open, support our teachers and union workers, and bring good jobs to our counties.
Bringing Our Values to Frankfort
Some might say rural Kentucky is shifting Republican, but that is because we have been waiting too long for real representation. It is time to change that narrative. We deserve leaders who will fight for:
- Affordable, accessible healthcare so no family has to choose between bills and medicine.
- Strong public schools that prepare our children for the future right here at home.
- Economic opportunities that keep our young people here and attract new businesses.
- Respect for our communities, not just political games that ignore our day-to-day challenges.
- Support for unions that protect workers’ rights and ensure fair wages and safe workplaces.
