January 3, 2024

Frankfort, KY - The Republican Party of Kentucky (RPK) issued the following statement ahead of Governor Andy Beshear’s state of the Commonwealth address:

“Tonight, Andy Beshear will sing the same tired tune we’ve heard for years,” said RPK spokesman Sean Southard. “He’ll claim credit for everything, from beautiful sunrises to bountiful harvests. When jobs grow from policies like right-to-work and tax reform, Andy acts as though he backed them. Kentucky’s strength lies in Republican leadership, notably Senate President Stivers and Speaker Osborne. Republicans are committed to a sound budget, tackling rising crime, and addressing our students’ educational needs.”
