Todd Kelly responds: I’m doing the work to be 6th District primary winner.

Thank you to Reverend Nancy Jo Kemper for endorsing me in the KY’s 6th district Democratic Congressional primary.

Kemper, a Congressional primary winner, knows better than the HL editorial staff tossing a few questions in a half hour Zoom session.

The HL failed to cover any of the 6th District candidate forums and some facts are in order.

Endorsed candidate Randy Cravens, since July of 2022, has raised $9,571.00 from a handful of people. Our campaign, since January 2024 has raised $45,203.34 from dozens of supporters. Although meager by most standards, our totals show a willingness and ability to raise funds.

I have appeared multiple times, at county Democratic meetings and events (Bourbon, Fleming, and Woodford) where all other candidates appeared not once.

I am the only candidate to appear at all public candidate forums whether by Zoom or in person.

On the stump I draw a sharp contrast between the priorities of Rep. Andy Barr and those of 6th District voters, including his views on reproductive rights and predatory finance. Barr’s extreme position on women’s reproductive health and his ties to banks are the issues of this campaign.

If standing out as a candidate means a lack of effort and ability to raise money, avoiding county meetings and forums, and shying from Andy Barr, then I’m happy to be sitting.

Relative to our opponents, our campaign has out worked, out raised, and explained better the issues that are important to our voters. I appreciate your vote on May 21.
