The following is a statement from Marisa McNee, spokesperson for the Kentucky Democratic Party:

“Gov. Beshear has proved time and time again that he is willing to make the tough decisions to keep us all safe. He has been a bold leader during a difficult time for the Commonwealth and like Judge Shepherd says in the order, allowing this to become law in the middle of a pandemic would be an ‘invitation to disaster.’

"Once again, a court has had to step in and stop Republican legislators from abusing their power and creating a terrible situation in our commonwealth. Republicans need to stop their jealousy and petty games, and do something that actually helps people during a pandemic.”
