Mitch McConnell's worst nightmare just happened. Amy McGrath, a fighter pilot who was not political until Trump's election, just announced...
"I’m running to replace Mitch McConnell in the U.S. Senate. Everything that’s wrong with Washington had to start somewhere -- it started with him. With your help, we can defeat Mitch and defend democracy."
As a longtime Kentuckian, I'm glad we have someone strong taking on McConnell. He needs to go! And this seat can swing the Senate to Democrats!
Adam Jentleson, a top aide to former Sen. Harry Reid, wrote on Twitter: "No one has done more damage to our democracy than Mitch McConnell. Everything Trump has done, McConnell has enabled...McGrath is a hero taking on a big mission. If you can, please support her today."
Asked how she can win in a Trump state, Amy had an important message:
"Trump promised to drain the swamp, bring back jobs, do big things in infrastructure, bring down drug prices...Senator McConnell is bought off by big Pharma."
Kentuckians "are tired of the swamp…folks like Senator McConnell who have been around for 34 years are not the answer…That was a lot of the appeal of Donald Trump, he was an outsider. I’m an outsider too. I’m not someone who ever believed I would be a politician. I just wanted to serve my country."
Thank you!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here.
