Issue Position: Supporting Local Businesses & Our Agriculture Industry

Issue Position

My family and I have strong roots in the 19th District. I know the issues facing the people that live and work here and I have a proven record of getting things done in Frankfort. Kentucky needs a steady hand and experienced leadership representing our local communities, especially as we try to recover from the pandemic and the economic crisis it has caused.

I've been endorsed by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce for my pro-business voting record. I've also been awarded a Friend of Kentucky Cities award and will continue to remove burdensome regulations that hamper growth in our communities.

House Bill 133 (2018) -- cosponsored by M. Meredith; this law was specifically designed to cut the red tape for our farming community. By amending previous legislation relating to the transportation of agricultural commodities and supplies, this law will allow for less strict regulations surrounding our agricultural planting and harvesting seasons.

House Bill 153 (2018) -- cosponsored by M. Meredith; another piece of legislation intended to remove burdensome regulations on our businesses, House Bill 153 will allow for a 10% weight variance for vehicles transporting feed for livestock or poultry.

House Bill 2 (2018) -- supported by M. Meredith; Enacting multiple changes to Workers Compensation, this piece of legislation will enhance Kentucky's business competitiveness by offering relief to small businesses. The changes will shorten the timeframe to receive benefits, but also increases the amount of benefits that an employee may receive.
