KDP Statement on 2024 Election Results

Frankfort, Ky -- KDP Chair Colmon Elridge released the following statement on the 2024 election results.

“Last night (Nov 5th), we sent a clear message: public dollars belong in public schools. Voters across our Commonwealth rejected Kentucky Republicans’ dangerous voucher scheme and ensured that every single child in our state can receive a quality public education — despite the out-of-state, billionaire-funded super PACs doing the GOP’s bidding.

“We held the line in the General Assembly in the midst of a national red wave and elected common-sense Democratic leaders like Adam Moore, Erika Hancock and Matt Lehman, who will govern by the Kentucky values that Governor Beshear embraces and address the kitchen table issues that matter most. To our candidates who came up short last night, we remain a better Commonwealth because you lifted your hands in service.

“While the presidential election outcome is disappointing and not what many Americans hoped for, Kentucky Democrats are proud of Vice President Kamala Harris and the unifying campaign that she ran — one that chose vision over division.

“This party’s work remains unfinished — there’s still so much more to be done in building a better Kentucky. Kentucky Democrats will continue that fight.”
