Female Retired Marine With Viral Campaign Ad Hopes To Bridge Gap In Democratic Party
http://www.npr.org/2017/08/03/541223715
Retired Marine Lt. Col. Amy McGrath's political ad took the Internet (or at least the political corner of the Internet) by storm this week, but she tells NPR that she doesn't typically love being fussed over.
"People who know me personally know me as an introvert," she said. "I'm not somebody who seeks attention."
No matter, though; when the Kentucky native released an ad announcing she would run in 2018 as a Democrat in her state's 6th Congressional District, she earned swooning praise from liberals and even impressed some conservatives. In the ad, McGrath took aim not only at the incumbent, Republican Rep. Andy Barr, but also made a blistering attack on fellow Kentuckian Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader.
