Kentuckian lost to COVID-19, which I hope will inspire generations of future leaders to think about these Kentuckyians, these families and the challenges of these times.
The Governor said Team Kentucky has gotten through the hardships and grief of the past 15 months together, and now can begin the work of building a better Kentucky for all.
"We know that our actions saved thousands, likely tens of thousands of lives. I've never felt more pride in our commonwealth and our people than knowing how we did this for one another," the Governor said.
