Its now official:
McGrath, a retired Marine combat pilot, touted many of the same issues health care and good-paying jobs that Andy Beshear highlighted in ousting Republican incumbent Matt Bevin in last month's election for governor. Beshear ran a great campaign" that focused on issues that hit home for Kentuckians, McGrath said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.
It absolutely gives us momentum because it shows that against an unpopular Republican incumbent, a Democrat can win," McGrath said. And we win by talking about those bread-and-butter issues that Kentuckians really care about.

(721 posts)I watched her video ... another clear strong voice! People like her are the future of the Dem party and it's so heartening to see so many of them entering politics.

(22,099 posts)If the Dem party gets behind her. He does have tons of money (gawd knows where it comes from). She's already getting nasty ads run against her, such as saying she would allow a woman to have an abortion on the way to the hospital to give birth.
We all know Moscow Mitch has no morals.

Please do contribute to Amy. Let's get this done.
Defeating Moscow Mitch is the 2nd most important race. I've given to Amy twice and am going to make another donation.

(63,221 posts)There is nothing I want more - Except for Trump's removal - than having Mitch defeated. Especially by a woman. He is trying to dismantle this democracy and is not even hiding his treachery. The man is evil and I hope his last days are a nightmare.
