Progressive Democrat Steve Cox For U.S. Senate in Kentucky

Working-class progressive Democrat Steve Cox is running for U.S. Senate in Kentucky to defeat the long-time incumbent Republican Mitch McConnell.



Steve Cox born, raised and educated in Kentucky is a working class father, leader, RPhT, and Healthcare Advocate who is educated in law, justice, homeland security, and emergency management, with experience in business management, community outreach, and healthcare. Steve fights to free Kentucky and the nation from Mitch McConnell’s treachery and finally move Kentucky UP the economic food chain instead of hovering near the bottom as Kentucky has done during Mitch’s entire career. Unlike Moscow Mitch, Steve Cox reserves a seat at the table for UMWA to draft legislation beyond coal that guarantees workers salary, benefits, green jobs EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN the wages and benefits miners currently receive.
HEALTHCARE: Medicare-For-All
*No Co-pays;
*No deductibles;
*No pre-existing conditions;
*Saves lives;
*Cost less;
*Reduce health disparities;
*Prevent medical bankruptcies;
*Help small businesses.

BUSINESS:
Business co-ops so that businesses and jobs will not be relocating internationally because businesses owned by communities stay in communities;

NEW STATE REVENUE PROGRAM:
Cannabis Revenue Program: Kentucky has remained at the bottom of the economic ladder in the U.S. Compared to the median US household income, Kentucky median household income is $11,961 lower than the national average. Steve has a cannabis revenue program modeled after Colorado's very successful billion dollar plus revenue program which could produce over $150 million tax revenue annually for Kentucky.

GUNS: Steve supports improved gun background checks and red flag laws.

PRIVACY CONCERNS:
Robo-call Ban to restore peace to our everyday lives by ending the constant stream of unwanted automated calls;

MINERS:
Keeping the covenant made with President Truman so that miners’ pensions are fully funded. Reinstate the gold card standard of benefits miners have enjoyed in the past.

My name is Steve Cox. As a healthcare professional, it wasn’t my dream to become a politician. I don’t have lobbyists and big corporations paying for my election and I don't know any Russian billionaires. This is David versus Goliath. But together, we can make a change. Together, our voices will be heard.
