BLEDSOE RETURNS TO FRANKFORT
FOLLOWING SERIOUS INJURY
Senator Bledsoe releases statement following return to the General Assembly after sustaining serious injury from an equine accident
“Words cannot express my level of gratitude for everyone who has reached out to me over the past few weeks. The support I have received from colleagues in Frankfort, my constituents, and people throughout the state, regardless of political affiliation, has been truly humbling. It reaffirms my belief that Kentucky embodies what is so great about America, and is home to the best people in the world.
“While I am eager to get back to work and I continue to heal each day, I still have a long road ahead to full recovery and I will need additional time to heal before doing so. This will temporarily limit my speeches during floor activities, committee hearings, and media engagements. Despite this being one of the biggest challenges I’ve had to face, I know when a horse kicks you, you get back up again. I intend to do just that for the people of Kentucky and ensure the 12th Senate district always has a seat at the table in Frankfort.”
