Why I'm Running

Christopher Campbell

I am a Kentuckian and I have lived in the Commonwealth my whole life. I grew up watching family and friends being taken advantage of by our abusive system, struggling just to survive day-to-day. I have spent a large chunk of my life working in the healthcare field. I’ve learned a great deal about the pain and difficulties of life while working in nursing homes, hospitals, health departments, and rape crisis centers.

Growing up in Marion County, I can remember walking along unpaved roads, picking up cans to exchange for enough money to purchase bologna and a loaf of bread. Believe me, I understand the struggles that Kentuckians face day-in and day-out.

I am a graduate of Kentucky’s public education system (Head Start through High School). I am a proud graduate of Eastern Kentucky University. I served in the Kentucky National Guard. I am a Kentucky Colonel.

I would consider it an honor to represent Kentucky on the national stage and the United States on the global stage.
