Susan Tyler Witten On The Issues

Kentucky families are feeling the squeeze from higher prices and rising costs. Susan believes government should help ease that burden—not make it worse.

That's why she supported lowering Kentucky's income tax, promoted responsible budgeting, and backed policies that encourage economic growth and job creation. Susan will continue fighting to keep more money in the pockets of Kentucky families.

Every family deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood.

Susan has supported stronger penalties for violent criminals and legislation that gives law enforcement the tools they need to protect our communities. She believes public safety is government's first responsibility and will always stand with the men and women who keep us safe.

Great schools create strong communities.

Susan has helped secure historic investments in Kentucky's students and schools while supporting educational opportunities that prepare every child for success. She believes parents, teachers, and local communities should work together to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive.

Housing costs continue to rise across Kentucky, making it harder for young families, seniors, and first-time homebuyers.

As Co-Chair of Kentucky's Housing Task Force, Susan is bringing together local leaders and housing experts to develop practical, market-driven solutions that increase housing opportunities while preserving the character of our communities.

Kentuckians love their pets, and animal cruelty has no place in our Commonwealth.

Susan authored Ethan's Law, making the intentional torture of dogs and cats a felony in Kentucky. She also led efforts to strengthen rabies protections to help keep both pets and families safe.
