STATEMENT FROM SENATE PRESIDENT STIVERS
FRANKFORT, KY (November 8, 2023) – the following may be attributed to Senate President Robert Stivers (R-Manchester), District 25.
“I want to congratulate Governor Beshear on winning the governor’s race.”
“While we are disappointed in the outcome of the gubernatorial election, nothing substantial will change as it relates to the efforts of the Kentucky General Assembly. I am hopeful that in his second term, though, the Governor will choose to work collaboratively with his co-equal branch of government. This General Assembly remains committed to a fiscally responsible budget and creating an environment for economic growth.”
“Regardless of the outcome, the Republican supermajorities in the House and Senate are the ones who have delivered on tax reform and a large budget reserve. We are committed to the conservative values and policies we have championed since 2017. Our constituents can remain confident we will bring forth legislation to protect Kentucky families from some of the extreme agendas of the Beshear and Biden administrations.”
