LEXINGTON, Ky. — As the electoral polls close in Kentucky, the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence extends its congratulations to the citizens of Kentucky for participating in the essential act of voting, which forms the cornerstone of our democratic process.

The time is now to seize the momentum that this election season has created for early childhood development and education. We will continue to beat the drum for the educational advancement that candidate Daniel Cameron and incumbent Governor Andy Beshear both championed in their campaigns.

Education is the foundation upon which Kentucky will build a larger, more prosperous life for all its citizens, fostering economic well-being and community resilience. It is critical that we maintain a commitment to improving educational outcomes as a strategic investment in the economic health and growth of our commonwealth.

We are eager to engage with the leaders chosen by Kentuckians to advance policies aimed at recovering learning losses, narrowing achievement gaps, and guaranteeing that every child has the opportunity for a high-quality early education, setting them on a path to lifelong success.

Only through a collective effort and bipartisan support can we build a larger life for all within the commonwealth.
