We can do better. And I have had results-driven leadership. And I'm the type of person that when I see a need, I want to meet the moment, i'm not a career politician. I'm not looking for a job in order to get the next job. I want to do the job and I want to have jobs for Kentuckians. And that's why I'm running. Because we can do better. Because we are better.
