I respond to a comment on my social media. A Juneteenth festival in Louisville has to apologize after putting out a event announcement that was too inclusive. UK has an anti-Israel protest where they push for the defeat of Joe Biden. Finally, I’ll go over another lying mailer we see coming out of one campaign.

On today’s show we have not one, but two interactions that politicians had with police. One with council woman Tonya Fogle out of Lexington, KY who shows us how to ensure you get arrested. The other with Ed Massey out of Northern Kentucky.

Today I take a good hard look at the candidates running in House District 29. I’ll show you how to research who you should support in any race, as we decide who we think a person should support in House District 29. A new PAC is running ads targeting those who took money from the JCPS teacher’s union.

I take a look at the race in House District 29. A state House race that has 6 people running in it. Tony Florence from KY Smoke Free Association and the KY Hemp Association to talk about the effects of HB11 and the fight against it.

The 2024 primaries are going to be incredibly important to the future of the Kentucky House, and I’ll go over why. Rep. Killian Timoney has resorted to just outright misrepresentation of his voting record. A viral social media post says a women was almost the victim of sex trafficking in Kentucky.
