Just as she has throughout her life, Alison Lundergan Grimes will continue fighting for women as Kentucky’s first female United States Senator. Alison learned the value of public service at an early age, and her passion has always been increasing opportunity for every citizen of the Commonwealth. She entered public service to give a voice to the voiceless – experience she gained as an attorney for victims of domestic violence.
