Thread by @Booker4KY

I am about to participate in @KyTonightKET's U.S. Senate candidate forum. My team will be tweeting some updates for the next hour.

You can follow along here and stream it online at ket.org/live/. #KYTonight

Rep. Booker opens up the show making plain that he is running to combat structural racism and inequity.

"I'm running for U.S. Senate to beat Mitch McConnell because we need real change...not just tweets..." #KYTonight

In a question about structural racism, Rep. Booker doesn't equivocate:

"The officers that killed Breonna Taylor should be fired..." #KYTonight

"We have to be listening to people of color like Rep. Charles Booker." -@AmyMcGrathKY while debating Rep. Booker

"We have to reimagine law enforcement...We have an opportunity now to grow and to lead in public safety..." -- Rep. Booker

#KYTonight

"We need to raise the minimum wage...not incremental. Incremental means never to us." --Rep. Booker

#KYTonight

On a question about how his experience can connect with those in EKY, Rep. Booker reiterated that he has lived the struggle that most politicians only speak about. His life experience is similar to many KYians. From rationing insulin... (1/2)

...to living paycheck to paycheck, to student debt, he can relate to the problems that many Kentuckians deal with.

He is Kentucky's candidate. (2/2) #KYTonight
