IMPORTANT UPDATE: Both of the biggest and most influential papers in
Kentucky have now endorsed Charles Booker to take on Mitch McConnell. The
Louisville Courier-Journal's reasons are must-read material for everyone
who wants to [ [link removed] ]defeat Mitch McConnell in November:
COURIER-JOURNAL: Charles Booker is the kind of political leader and change
agent that our commonwealth needs. We believe he is worthy of the
Democratic nomination.
The Kentucky state representative, born and raised in Louisville’s West
End, has the background, experience, commitment and vision to help
transform our state and nation. He brings a perspective and several
well-crafted ideas that Kentucky voters need to consider as we approach
November’s general election.
While Amy McGrath has broad support, as evidenced by her successful
fundraising, she has not shown the progressive ideas and bold leadership
necessary to move our state forward. She has been overly moderate,
measured and cautious throughout this campaign, focusing more on her
military service (which we applaud and sincerely respect) or her
motherhood than offering a sweeping vision for the commonwealth —
especially in these turbulent times.
Unfortunately, her message to voters has been unimaginative and
uninspiring: "Let me tell you what’s wrong with Mitch McConnell instead of
explaining why my vision for our commonwealth and our country is a better
fit for Kentucky voters."
We also believe the national Democratic Party was too quick to offer its
full support and fundraising apparatus to a candidate who has never held
public office and stumbled out of the gate when announcing her candidacy.
McGrath’s self-described "common sense Kentucky Democrat" tagline — a
campaign strategy to attract potential supporters of President Donald
Trump who are looking for an alternative to McConnell — has fallen flat in
these final weeks of the campaign....
As Booker told us in our interview, "We need system-level change in our
commonwealth." Booker's vision for Kentucky and the United States is bold,
progressive, positive and passionate. We believe he’s the strongest in
this field of Democrats in Kentucky’s June 23 primary.

YESTERDAY'S EMAIL:
We have 1 shot to defeat Mitch McConnell in Kentucky. There are 2 main Dem
candidates. The primary's in 2 weeks.
[ [link removed] ]Bold progressive Charles Booker is the one who will get the job done.
We proudly endorse him. AOC, Bernie, and a top newspaper just endorsed
him. Please donate to his campaign and our work to elect him right now!
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 [ [link removed] ]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."
[ [link removed] ]Charles Booker was a PCCC "Progressive Champion" when he ran for
legislature. He's surging. We have two weeks to do this! Can you donate
today?
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." [ [link removed] ]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."
[ [link removed] ]If you're disgusted with Mitch McConnell -- and want an inspiring
progressive rising star in the Senate -- we ask you to dig deep and donate
to Charles Booker's campaign today.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
