$38M

$38 million for healthcare careers in Western Kentucky

Our region has a healthcare-worker shortage — and families shouldn't have to travel for care or send their kids away for good jobs. Suzanne secured $38 million to establish a healthcare workforce training center based in Owensboro, now serving communities across Western Kentucky. It trains the nurses and care workers our hospitals need, and it opened its doors right here. Care close to home, careers close to home.

96–0

A new law to protect our kids — passed 96–0

Suzanne led a new law cracking down on human trafficking: stronger tools to catch traffickers, required help-line signage where victims are most likely to be found, and expanded support for survivors. It passed the Kentucky House unanimously, 96–0, and was signed into law. Protecting the vulnerable shouldn't be partisan — and Suzanne made sure it wasn't.

$1.3M

Jobs coming to the Owensboro Riverport

Suzanne secured $1.3 million to build out the water infrastructure that makes a 50-acre Riverport site "build-ready" for new employers. It's the unglamorous, behind-the-scenes work that actually lands jobs — exactly the kind of thing a small-business owner knows how to get done.

Showing up — for years
