Grimes Begins Commonwealth Civic Health Tour

Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is beginning a tour of the state to hold conversations with Kentuckians about the state of the Commonwealth’s civic health. The series of stops, which will be in every part of Kentucky, started Thursday at the University of Louisville. Grimes’ office released the second installment of Kentucky’s Civic Health Index at the beginning of the year, showing fewer than half of Kentuckians have confidence in media, and fewer Kentuckians are trusting their neighbors. Kentucky currently ranks 48th in the nation in public confidence in media. Grimes called on Kentucky’s elected officials to help restore trust by pledging to not share false information. The next stop on Grimes’ civic health tour is at Western Kentucky University on February 1 at 3:30pm Central Time, at the Faculty House.
