Like you, I know that we should do more to build a Kentucky where everyone has the chance to succeed, with quality education, fiscal responsibility, accessible healthcare, reproductive freedom, and affordable childcare. I will work to foster dialogue and find common-sense, bipartisan solutions to the challenges we face. I was born and raised in Louisville and my family roots in Kentucky run deep.
In fact, the Jolly family first settled here in the late 1700’s, before Kentucky’s statehood. Growing up in Louisville, I know the question everyone asks first, so I’ll answer it up front. I went to high school at Pleasure Ridge Park. I was very active in high school, playing soccer, editing the yearbook, participating in numerous clubs, and graduating at the top of my class. I then studied actuarial science at The Ohio State University and lived in Ohio and Illinois as I started my career as a pension actuary. I always knew I’d want to raise my family in Kentucky. After my husband, Justin, and I got married in 2015, we began discussing a move to Louisville. Justin fell in love with the city quickly. He loved that Louisville has the energy of a midwestern city, but still embodies the spirit of the south, where he grew up. Our daughter, Lillian, was born in 2019. She is charming and full of life and she makes us laugh every day. Parenthood has been the greatest honor and the biggest responsibility of my life. That responsibility has led me to the decision to run to represent District 33. My daughter - and all Kentucky children - deserve to be represented in Frankfort by someone who prioritizes their interests and their future. It is through that lens that I will approach my work as a legislator.
