We represent every corner of our state, and, though we may disagree on many other issues, we agree 100% on this point: let the people decide.

About Us

The Kentucky Alliance for Jobs is a new and broad-based coalition of business, labor unions, teachers, local governments, horsemen and other Kentuckians who support Senate Bill 151, which would put a constitutional amendment on the ballot this November that allows citizens of the Commonwealth to vote on allowing casinos at race tracks and other locations. We have a very simple goal: LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

“Our grassroots alliance represents the broadest coalition to unite behind a major piece of public policy in Frankfort in more than a decade. And the broad show of support by this alliance is only surpassed by the even broader desire by the public to vote on this issue.” -- David Adkisson, President and CEO of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce


“We represent every corner of our state, all political parties, we are moderates and conservatives, business and labor unions, teachers and private citizens – and, though we may disagree on many other issues, we agree 100% on this point: let the people decide.” -- Larry Roberts, State Director of the Kentucky State Building & Construction Trades Council


“Teachers and principals, superintendents, bus drivers, custodians and educational assistants – all educational employees want the same thing: a chance to decide for themselves by voting on this issue in November.” -- Stu Silberman, KEAT (Kentucky Education Action Team)
