There is a huge disconnect between the rank partisanship of national politics and governors whose job it is to help beleaguered families, strengthen work forces, attract companies and build a balanced budget.
In “People Over Politics,” I explain how – during my eight years as Kentucky’s governor – we navigated a challenging political and economic environment to help the Commonwealth become a recognized national leader in healthcare, education reform and job creation.
The lesson of the book is this: When elected leaders are committed to helping people instead of fighting partisan battles to further their own political power, democracy can still work.
