Women’s Group Congratulates Kentucky Governor-Elect Andy Beshear
UltraViolet Action: “The Lesson of Kentucky is that When Democrats Run on Our Values – We Win”
Statement from Shaunna Thomas, co-founder and executive director of UltraViolet Action, a leading national women’s organization, on news that Kentucky voters have elected Democrat Andy Beshear as their next Governor:
“This morning, deep red Kentucky — Mitch McConnell’s Kentucky, Rand Paul’s Kentucky, Trump’s 30 point victory in 2016 Kentucky — is waking up to having elected a proud pro-choice Governor. Voters in Kentucky did this despite a multi-million dollar blitz by the anti-choice movement in the State too.
“This is a huge victory for Kentuckians and the lessons of last night are clear: First, voters, in red and blue states, overwhelmingly reject the extreme policies of Republicans and their allies in the anti-abortion movement – who are obsessed with controlling our bodies and our freedoms. Second, that when Democrats run on, and not away from, our values – we win.
“Congratulations to Governor-elect Beshear on his hard fought victory. We look forward to more wins like this next year.”

Give for survivor justice taking flight!
While Donald Trump and Pam Bondi want to change the subject, we refuse to let them off the hook for protecting predators. That’s why we're flying airplane banners to keep Trump’s ties to child sex abuser and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in the news. Epstein’s more than 1,000 survivors deserve transparency and justice. Your gift today will keep the spotlight on Trump’s and Bondi’s deflections and center survivors in the public narrative!
