Zero Tolerance: put crooked politicians behind bars
As State Auditor, Adam Edelen took corruption head on and put crooked politicians behind bars. His record of fighting those who pad their wallets at taxpayer expense will expand with a new era of
Zero Tolerance for corruption in Frankfort. Kentucky has waited long enough for an honest and ethical government that puts people first.
Money from faceless PACs has helped corrode our political system and shake the faith Kentuckians have in their government. To bring real change to Kentucky, the voices of hard working people need to be heard, not drowned out by special interests.
Adam Edelen is committed to running a campaign powered by people, and is the only candidate for Governor who won't take a dime of PAC money.

Restore Kentucky Commission on Women; 50% women in Cabinet
In his last proposed budget, Matt Bevin shamefully gutted funding to 70 programs under the Kentucky Commission on Women. These important programs did everything from combating domestic violence, working to stop the evil or human trafficking as well as
funding programs to encourage young women to pursue an education in the sciences or engineering.Adam Edelen will not only restore funds for these vital programs but also promote the Executive Director of the Kentucky Commission on Women to a member
of the Governor's Cabinet. Programs that are there to empower and provide Kentucky women and girls real opportunities and needed protections will no longer be treated as optional or as bargaining chips in a state budget.
Adam is committed to ensuring
that the leadership in his administration represents all Kentucky, including Kentucky women. Under an Edelen administration no less than half of the Cabinets will be led by women as its past time we ensure everyone's voice is being heard in Frankfort.
