Whatever happens with the top of the ticket, it’s vital to elect more and better Democrats to the Legislative branch.

I am going to guess by your handle that you are a fellow KY resident? If so, I don’t know which region you’re in, but Clinton is going to being speaking in Louisville tomorrow.
Me too.
