Outdated labor laws have hampered our fundamental right to join together and negotiate for better wages, benefits and working conditions. The Protecting the Right to Organize Act will empower America’s workers and make our economy work for working people.
Join us tomorrow night (June 15th) at 6pm EDT for a Workers' Rights Town Hall, hosted by our friends at the Kentucky Equal Justice Center, featuring Congressman John Yarmuth, State Rep.
Frankfort, KY — The Kentucky Democratic Party is calling on Matt Bevin to withdraw from a legal effort he recently joined that threatens to undermine health care protections for Kentuckians with pre-existing medical conditions.

MOREHEAD -- House Minority Floor Leader Rocky Adkins won Rowan County in last month’s Democratic primary election for governor with 89 percent of the vote. On Monday, he asked those voters to flip their support to the man who beat him statewide: Attorney General Andy Beshear.

Now, when Secretary Grimes points out the inaccuracies to protect Primary voters, it’s no surprise the Republican party runs to defend its politically motivated legislation.
