Economy Jamie also believes in attracting businesses that strengthen agriculture, companies that support farmers and utilize locally produced crops, livestock, and goods. By connecting agriculture with economic development, she is committed to helping ensure farming remains strong, sustainable, and profitable for generations to come. Education Jamie believes schools should be safe, supportive places where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Criminal Justice / Public Safety Jamie stands firmly shoulder-to-shoulder with the men and women who protect and serve Barren County. She believes public safety professionals should be supported, not undermined, and she will never support efforts to defund law enforcement, fire services, or emergency responders who play a critical role in keeping our community safe.

She will continue working alongside business and industry leaders to ensure quality jobs are created, and remain, right here in Barren County, so future generations can build bright futures close to home.
