Who we are
The New Power PAC is a political action committee formed in 2010 by Kentuckians For The Commonwealth to lift up the voices of Kentuckians in our democracy. Every day, we all have conversations with our friends, family, and neighbors. Kentuckians know what we need because we know and care the most about our communities.
We represent a growing base of support for New Power in Kentucky. The New Power PAC helps elect candidates that share our values and vision.
What is New Power?
New Power means a bright future for our children. New Power means clean, affordable energy for our homes and good-paying jobs that don’t destroy our water, land or health. New Power means free and fair elections where all Kentuckians participate in the decisions that shape our lives and our communities. New Power means elected leaders who work with and for all of us.
We build power by bringing Kentuckians together from Paducah to Pikeville and every city, town, and holler in between. Today Kentuckians have our best chance in generations to build a new power economy and a new power democracy – for all of us.
“We are forming the New Power PAC because somebody needs to tell the story about the need for New Power in Kentucky – new economic power, new political power and new energy power. Somebody has to tell the story about the opportunity we have to create clean energy jobs and affordable renewable energy. And somebody needs to speak the truth about the harm done by our dependence on old power.”
-K.A. Owens, announcing the formation of the New Power PAC in October 2010
