As I reflect on yesterday’s victory, I want to begin by thanking President Donald J. Trump for his support, confidence, and unwavering commitment to fighting for our country and the America First movement.
I am deeply humbled and honored by the trust the people of Kentucky have placed in me. This victory belongs to the hardworking patriots across our Commonwealth who believe in faith, freedom, secure borders, strong families, and putting America first.
To every voter, volunteer, supporter, and friend who stood with our campaign — thank you. Thank you for your prayers, sacrifice, encouragement, and belief in our mission. I will never forget the support you showed my family and me throughout this journey.
Over the course of this campaign, I had the privilege of meeting thousands of Kentuckians from every walk of life — veterans, farmers, first responders, small business owners, workers, parents, and young people hopeful for the future of our nation. Your stories inspired me every single day.
The Navy SEAL Teams taught me that no mission is accomplished alone. Success requires trust, teamwork, discipline, and people willing to fight side by side for something greater than themselves. I saw that same spirit throughout this campaign, from the farms and small towns of Kentucky to the incredible grassroots team that poured their hearts into this race.
While yesterday was a victory worth celebrating, there is still much work to be done. The real mission begins now. I will fight every day to serve the people of Kentucky, support President Trump’s agenda, strengthen our country, and never forget the trust you placed in me.
Thank you again for this incredible honor. I am ready to get to work.
May God bless each of you, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and the United States of America 🇺🇸
