It’s always a thoughtful conversation with great questions leading it when our members sit down with Bill Bryant! Sen. @AmandaMBledsoe joined Bill in studio today for an upcoming edition of @kynewsmakers, discussing some of the biggest issues facing the commonwealth, including the legislature’s ongoing interim work in Frankfort and other topics shaping Kentucky’s future. Catch the conversation on Sunday morning: 10 a.m. ET on The CW Lexington 11:30 a.m. ET on WKYT

Sen. @AmandaMBledsoe joined families yesterday at UK HealthCare to read The Little Engine That Could, the first book children receive through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. “There’s something special about a child getting a book in the mail with their name on it,” Bledsoe said. “For many families, those books become part of bedtime routines, conversations and memories that last long after the last page is turned. “I’m so happy the General Assembly continued supporting the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, and I’m excited to see this partnership with UK HealthCare help connect even more Kentucky families with books from the very start,” she added. “Sometimes the simplest ideas make the biggest difference, and giving children access to books gives them access to their imagination, and that is something that can take them anywhere.” During the 2026 legislative session, Bledsoe, Sen. @JRAforKY and legislative leaders worked to maintain funding for the Imagination Library. Every child deserves the chance to dream, learn and imagine what's possible. Sometimes it all starts with turning a page. #KYGA26

Big things don’t happen by accident! Today’s unveiling of FUTURE LEX offers a glimpse of where Lexington is headed over the next several decades, and Sen. @AmandaMBledsoe was glad to be part of that conversation as she delivered remarks at today’s celebration. Anyone who has flown through Blue Grass Airport lately has seen the growth firsthand. You see more flights and travelers, and more businesses are looking at Central Kentucky as a place to invest, expand and create jobs. That’s one reason Sen. Bledsoe worked alongside fellow Fayette County delegates to support nearly $25 million in state funding for Blue Grass Airport improvements, including terminal expansion and critical infrastructure upgrades. At an airport, many more things are happening beyond just travelers boarding flights. It’s often the first impression visitors have of our region and all of Kentucky. It’s how businesses move people, attract talent and stay connected to customers around the country and around the world. The decisions we make today help shape what Lexington and other cities and regions across the Bluegrass look like for our children and grandchildren. Local and state leaders are thinking ahead and working together to keep Central Kentucky headed toward the right destination. Photos courtesy of Blue Grass Airport.

Today we remember the men and women who never made it home. Not as headlines or history, but as sons, daughters, husbands, wives, parents, friends and people who were deeply loved. They gave their lives for something bigger than themselves and because of that sacrifice, generations of Americans have had the freedom to live, dream, gather, laugh and grow old in this country we call home. No words will ever repay that kind of sacrifice, but we will remember them. Wherever you are today, take a moment. Speak their names. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Never forget the brave souls who gave everything for this country. Kentucky remembers its heroes today, especially Tech. Sgt. Ashley Pruitt and Staff Sgt. Benjamin Pennington. Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. We remember our heroes today and always. 🇺🇸 – at Frankfort, KY

Sen. @AmandaMBledsoe joined the @universityofky, and agriculture and community leaders for the opening of the new Martin-Gatton Agricultural Sciences Building at UK on Thursday. The facility is a transformational investment in the future of Kentucky agriculture, research and workforce development. It will provide students with cutting-edge learning spaces and strengthen UK’s ability to support innovation in one of Kentucky’s most important industries. As a strong advocate for education, economic growth and agricultural advancement, Sen. Bledsoe was proud to celebrate this major milestone for the commonwealth.
