  • 2010 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitor’S Guide
    2010 Kentucky General Assembly Directory Visitor’s Guide February 2010 Paid for with state funds. Available in alternative form by request. Legislative Research Commission LRC Legislative Research Commission Foreword When the fi rst Kentucky General Assembly met in 1792, its members chose the term “commonwealth” to describe Kentucky. While there is no legal difference between a commonwealth and a state, Kentucky’s early leaders perhaps wanted to assert an indepen- dence of ideals and governance. By defi nition, a commonwealth is a political unit founded on law, united for the common good, and with supreme authority vested in the people. This ultimately de- fi nes Kentucky: government by the people and for the people. Like most states, Kentucky has a part-time citizen legislature with members from diverse backgrounds and communities. All 138 members, however, serve year-round as legislators, representing constituents, helping them solve problems, and studying new ideas. Of Kentucky’s three branches of government—execu- tive, judicial, and legislative—the legislative is the one closest to the people and the one into which Kentuck- ians have the most direct input. Consequently, it is benefi cial to both the legislature and our citizens that the work of the General Assembly be understood and the legislative process be used to its full potential.

  • VOTE Tuesday, Nov. 6
    VOTE Tuesday, Nov. 6 This year C-FAIR, the political action committee (PAC) of the Fairness Campaign, proudly endorsed more than 90 candidates for state and local offices across Kentucky in the 2018 General Election. We are proud to share them with you in this newsletter, which includes a full list of endorsed candidates and brief endorsement narratives in a few select races. You might be wondering why you do not see endorsements in the many important races for Congress across Kentucky, but as a state PAC, C-FAIR only endorses candidates for state and local office, not federal office. These endorsements represent hundreds of volunteer hours performed by C-FAIR Board Members and community volunteers, who interviewed a record number of candidates for our PAC—more than 120 in total! All candidates in races being considered by C-FAIR were mailed an instruction letter to their address filed with the Kentucky Secretary of State or County Clerk. Those letters provided a link to an online candidate survey. Candidates who completed the survey, and whose answers were viewed favorably by the C-FAIR Board of Directors, were invited to an interview with a team of C-FAIR Board Members and supporters, who interviewed each candidate in a particular race in person General Election ‘18 or by phone. Following the interview the teams made recommendations of endorsement to the C-FAIR Board of Directors, which issues final endorsement decisions. Page 2 C-FAIR Endorsements Sometimes there are many Fairness-supportive candidates in a single race. While it is difficult, the C-FAIR Board of Directors endeavors to choose one candidate for endorsement in each Page 4 race.

  • Representatives Support Sunrise
    COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY KENTUCKY GENERAL ASSEMBLY Office Address: Telephone: Capitol Annex (502) 564-8100 Frankfort KY 40601 May 12, 2021 Via hand delivery The Honorable Andrew Beshear Governor, Commonwealth of Kentucky 700 Capital Avenue, Suite 100 Frankfort, Kentucky 40601 Dear Governor Beshear: We request that your administration reconsider the position taken by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services in contract negotiations with Sunrise Children’s Services. Specifically, we ask that you continue the longstanding practice of offering an accommodation that would allow for the exercise of Sunrise’s religious rights. Without this accommodation, the Cabinet is in danger of not only violating the fundamental right of religious liberty, but also language approved as part of this year’s Executive Branch Budget, HB 192. As you know, HB 192 was amended in free conference committee to include the following provision: “Children's Services Contractors: Notwithstanding KRS Chapter 45A, no contracts awarded for the use and benefit of the Department for Community Based Services shall interfere with the contractor’s freedom of religion as set forth in KRS 446.350. Any such contracts shall contain a provision allowing a contractor to allow a substitute contractor who is also licensed or approved by the Cabinet to deliver the contracted services if the contractor cannot perform a contracted service because of religiously held beliefs as outlined in KRS 446.350.” This language is unequivocally clear and ensures that the state cannot discriminate against a provider because of that organization’s religious convictions. Sunrise Children’s Services is a proven partner in our state’s efforts to improve the quality of life for Kentucky children.

Senators Julie Raque Adams of Louisville and Ralph Alvarado of Winchester, Representative Steven Rudy of Paducah and former Representative Addia Wuchner of Florence were presented Nonprofit Advocacy Partner awards for their support of the effort.
