Strengthening Kentucky’s Economy and Expanding Opportunity Across the Commonwealth
Kentucky’s recent progress proves what’s possible when strong leadership, sound policy, and a united business community come together. Working with the Kentucky Chamber, the Kentucky General Assembly has advanced pro-growth policies that have strengthened our economy, improved competitiveness, and supported Kentuckians and businesses.
Now we must build on that momentum by addressing barriers that reach every community: access to housing and child care. Employers are seeing firsthand how these challenges impact their ability to hire, retain, and support workers. They also see the potential for growth and opportunity when those barriers are removed.
Our 2026 legislative priorities focus on turning today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities—supporting our workforce and strengthening our communities, continuing tax reform, investing in education, prioritizing infrastructure, maintaining a competitive business climate through legal liability reform, and advancing sustainable health care solutions.
Shaped by the voices of business leaders across the state and approved by our policy councils and Board of Directors, these are the priorities of employers who power Kentucky’s economy and push for progress in every community.
We look forward to working with our members and the General Assembly to advance meaningful solutions that ensure Opportunity Starts Here—because Kentucky’s future depends on it.
