🎬 THE TOAST OF HOLLYWOOD 🎬 Kentucky’s film industry continues to gain national attention, and so does the people and the work that helped make it happen. @KET’s ‘Kentucky Edition’ on Friday highlighted the @motionpictures’ decision to honor @kysenatepres Robert Stivers with its 2026 Industry Champion Award, recognizing his leadership in advancing policies that have helped strengthen Kentucky’s growing film and entertainment sector. The recognition reflects years of work to position Kentucky as a destination for film and television production, supporting jobs, small businesses and economic development across the commonwealth. Check out the segment from KET below.

A few years from now, future doctors and lawyers will walk into classrooms where a parking lot sits today. That transformation officially began this week in Covington as ground was broken for the Commonwealth Center for Biomedical Excellence. The center will bring Northern Kentucky University’s Chase College of Law and the University of Kentucky College of Medicine's Northern Kentucky campus together under one roof. No other project like it exists anywhere in the country. “This project is unique in the country,” said NKU Chase College of Law Dean Judith Darr. “Sen. (Chris) McDaniel’s vision to bring together two professional schools across two universities in a single space is novel, and will be the first of its kind in the nation. I’m sure it will be a model that other institutions will follow.” Sen. McDaniel and the Kentucky General Assembly backed that vision with a $125 million investment, including $10 million for planning and design and $115 million for construction. Our Senate budget chair helped lead that effort, joined by Sen. Shelley Funke Frommeyer and other local leaders committed to strengthening northern Kentucky's future. This investment reaches far beyond bricks and mortar. The new facility will expand medical school enrollment capacity by 40 percent, help train more physicians for Kentucky communities, strengthen the region's legal workforce and create new opportunities for research, innovation and economic growth. At the groundbreaking, McDaniel put it simply: "Leaders have to invest in the future, not dwell in the past." That is exactly what this project does. It takes a long-term view, creates opportunities for the next generation and puts taxpayer dollars to work in a way that can benefit Kentucky for decades to come. “This is a testament to what can happen when people set aside all of their individual interests and work cooperatively to create lasting opportunities for Kentuckians,” - Sen.
