Tonight, Kentucky Educational Television (KET) will give Ed Gallrein 30 minutes to speak directly to the voters in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District. This broadcast was originally intended to be a debate, Instead you will only hear from 1 candidate in a three person race. I was not given the opportunity to participate due to KET’s arbitrary fundraising requirement. Mr. Gallrein met that threshold because his campaign is funded by Billionaires, Corporate PACs, Lobbyists, and millions of dollars from outside our district. He paid for an expected win in the primary and now KET is allowing him a platform where you will be denied access to all the different opinions available to you at the ballot box. The same opportunity was extended to him during the primary against Thomas Massie, but he declined. Now he accepts when there will be no one there to challenge him on his unpopular policies, and unconditional support of the president. That is not Democracy. There are multiple candidates on the ballot for the 4th Congressional District who have stronger campaigns and better messaging. Candidates who actually want to help the people of our district. #ky04
