We have 1 shot to defeat Mitch McConnell in Kentucky. There are 2 main Dem candidates. The primary's in 2 weeks.
Charles Booker is a popular legislator who calls for "moral clarity" against McConnell. His cousins were killed by police, and he's on the front lines of the peaceful protests for Black Lives.
As a diabetic who struggled to afford insulin, he's campaigning for Medicare For All. As a father of two kids, he's campaigning for a Green New Deal. He's surging with a string of endorsements and grassroots donations flooding in.
Amy McGrath was recruited by DC Democrats. She stumbled out the gate, saying she would have voted for Brett Kavanaugh for Supreme Court.
She consistently criticizes McConnell for blocking Trump from doing even more! (Like that's the problem.) She's been absent on Black Lives Matter at a time when Black voters will be key to victory.
Charles Booker says the way to defeat McConnell is to "lead with moral clarity...you don't run a pro-Trump Democrat...[voters] can smell BS from a mile away."
We've thought hard about what electability means in this race.
Commenting on Trump's agenda, Amy McGrath says Trump's "not able to get it done because of Senator McConnell...That’s going to be my message."
Kentucky voters who like Trump are not going to boot McConnell and vote for a Democrat promising to support Trump even more. That message will just demobilize our base.
Charles Booker grew up in one of the poorest zip codes in Kentucky, struggled with student debt, and rose to being a prominent legislator.
People see him in the community. McGrath airs TV ads in DC!
People trust Charles. Popular Kentucky sports radio host Matt Jones endorsed Jones this week, saying, "We don’t agree on everything. But I do know this — Charles has a big heart, and he cares." We can help Charles get that message out in the final days.
In this particular moment, we can flood the polls and defeat McConnell -- with the right candidate. The Lexington Herald-Leader endorsed Charles, saying he's "the only one generating real excitement."
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
