Just wanted to remind everyone that we have some important dates coming up. If you have any questions about any of these events please call me.

I also want to thank all of the members here in Kentucky who either helped campaign or who voted in the special elections this month. Not only were we able to maintain a democratic house in Frankfort, we gained new seats as well. All were labor endorsed candidates!
Kentucky's Primary Elections are tomorrow May 19th, 2015. This is our chance as working class people to have a voice that is heard. When you go to the polls, please keep your pay and benefits in mind, not your guns and religion. Make no mistake about it, every single Republican in this primary race publicly states on their official websites and in campaign speeches that they will make it a priority to pass Right to Work and they will repeal Prevailing Wage Laws. EVERY single one of them. Below is a list of candidates endorsed by the Kentucky State Building Trades Council. These candidates care about us and our rights and their legislative records show it. We ask for your vote and to spread the word. It's our Kentucky and we're Union Proud!
