On The Edge with Ralph Alvarado (R), Candidate for Kentucky's 6th District

This week On The Edge with Whitney McKnight:Ralph Alvarado, MD, refers to himself as a "country doctor". Double-boarded as a pediatrician and an internal medicine physician, Alvarado got his start working in politics two decades ago while practicing medicine in Winchester, Ky. It was his frustration with how things were in Frankfort that eventually led Alvarado there about 10 years ago where he passed multiple bills aimed at improving healthcare costs and delivery in the Commonwealth.  After his recent stint as Tennessee's health commissioner from 2023-2025, Alvarado is now running to represent Kentucky in fellow Republican Andy Barr's current Congressional seat. Alvarado leads with "America First" but at a time when ratings are dropping over our America First president, how does Alvarado interpret that sentiment? Also, how does the son of Latin and Central American immigrants view this administration's approach to immigration? And what kind of reforms to our healthcare system does Dr. Alvarado believe are necessary at the federal level? All that, and more on this week's On The Edge!Reporting from The Edge of Appalachia in Berea, Kentucky.
