Former Kentucky state representative Charles Booker, 37, husband and father, is working hard to move Sen. Paul Rand, R.-Ky, out of office. Running as a champion for working families, Booker spoke at the 2022 Annual Hillbilly Days Festival in Appalachia’s Pikeville, Kentucky, last weekend. He said this week, “I am honored. This moment was proof that we’re building a movement from the hood to the holler.” Each year the iconic festival brings in over 100,000 people. (Photo: Courtesy, charlesbooker.org)
