Kentucky: Home of bourbon whiskey, the Kentucky Derby, the Colonel's delicious fried chicken, and one of the newest members of the National Voter Registration Day family, KY Secretary of State Michael Adams!
On the heels of shepherding a new bipartisan voting expansion law through the Kentucky State House, Secretary Adams jumped at the chance to take the Republican Secretary of State slot on National Voter Registration Day's Steering Committee. Join us as we get to know him a bit better and delve into the details of the only voting expansion bill to be passed by a Republican state following the 2020 election.
PLUS: What's the middle ground between a lion and a lamb? Can you still buy Zima outside of the year 2000? And marshmallow Peeps: friend or foe?
