Come meet us on March 18th at Union Pub to support this important work to reform our political system.

We are the signatories of Take BAC Congress, a group that has pledged to:
⭐️ Pass congressional term limits
⭐️ Put a moratorium on congressional lobbying
⭐️ End Citizens United
⭐️ Enact a code of conduct for the U.S. Supreme Court
⭐️ Ban congressional stock trading

Next week, I head to Washington, DC alongside dozens of other like-minded congressional candidates from across the country. During our meeting, we will build our plan to create a caucus to create real change. In the way our government works.

$12K - cost of my Master’s degree from the University of Kentucky

$40K - cost of one ad buy for my congressional campaign

Our political system is broken - I’m running to fix it. But until I become part of the system I can’t. Help me get there & reach voters.

Sir. You cannot claim that you stopped wars that you, in fact, started.

β€œWhy aren’t we talking about healthcare? All I hear about is Iran & sometimes the Epstein files.”

A man in Bourbon County asked me this last night.

The why is simple: they don’t want to. They don’t want to do their jobs. They want to keep the rich friends & donors rich. Vote them all out.

These are our neighbors. Our friends. Our brothers, sisters, parents, cousins. This is not a β€œsmall price” to pay. This is devastating. Death and injury are not required. This was a choice. Remember this when you go to the polls.

Donald Trump is coming to Northern Kentucky today. There are also tornado warnings in Northern Kentucky today. Coincidence? I think not.

Heartbreaking. Horrifying. Sadly expected of this capricious and ill-planned war of choice.

To all of the many innocents injured and lost in this conflict, we salute and honor you. We will fight so your memory is honored in the highest. And we will hold those fuckers accountable.

We cannot wait any longer. Billionaires are richer than ever and everyone else is poorer than ever. That isn’t right. And I’m dedicated to fixing that in Washington.

In Bourbon County, a woman said β€œMost people can’t even survive on a two family income.” And that’s true. They can’t.

People must be paid a living wage.

We must pass Medicare for All.

Garland Hale Barr IV is at it again. This time he’s chartered a bus to go to a Trump Rally in Hebron, Kentucky. So the Barr Bus doesn’t take us to more affordable lives but straight to the bottom of the boot.

Andy Barr’s latest ad called us β€œliberal idiots.”

I’m his constituent AND running to replace him. As a progressive Democrat I guess I’m a β€œliberal idiot.”

Help me replace him by kicking me $5 here: secure.actblue.com/donate/petrey

Every dollar helps me reach more voters who’ve repped by this πŸ’©.

This is Sgt. Benjamin Pennington. 26 year old Kentuckian killed in this war of choice with Iran. His ultimate sacrifice should be honored to the highest. But his loss of life was not necessary.

Guess Sgt. Pennington is just another β€œsmall price to pay.”

Sending love and strength to his family in Kentucky.

I suppose the lives of American service members and innocent civilians across the region is also a β€œsmall price to pay” when you’re being personally enriched by the whole affair.

And what are you doing to help us progressives break through the DNC machine and well-funded noise?

Building a New Caucus Before Congress "But Erin, as a freshman in Congress, you can't do anything." I disagree. That's why I'm busy building coalitions with likeminded candidates from across the country before any of us even get elected.

We’re seeing the biggest spike in oil since 1983: up 35%

My friend sent me this earlier with the comment β€œthis is bullshit”

And it is bullshit. Americans were promised affordability, not a new intractable and expensive war in the Middle East. One of the many reasons I’m running for Congress.
