As an activist, I’ve battled Mitch McConnell for years.

Now I’m running for Congress in his backyard – in a newly open seat.

I’ve battled Mitch McConnell for years here in Kentucky.

With a newly open congressional seat, I’m running to fight him in DC.
[ [link removed] ]I’m endorsed by the PCCC and I need your help to win.

Did you know that Kentucky has never sent a Democratic woman to Congress?
Or a person of color. [ [link removed] ]But we’re going to change that – and add a bold
progressive voice!

Folks in this district, this state, and all across the country are crying
out for justice.

In Congress, I will fight for health justice such as Medicare for All,
environmental justice such as a Green New Deal, employment justice such as
a $15 minimum wage and universal childcare, racial justice such as the
George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, and voting justice including ending
partisan gerrymandering and passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

As a long-time PCCC member and partner in activism, I was proud to be one
of the PCCC’s first Progressive Champions in my successful 2018
legislative campaign.

[ [link removed] ]I’ve led protests with the PCCC outside Mitch McConnell’s office. Can
you chip in $3 today so I can continue fighting Mitch McConnell right from
the halls of Congress? Chip in here.

One of my earliest memories is walking to the school bus in the morning,
and passing my great uncle's car that was covered in soot from the
emissions of the chemical plants nearby. More than a dozen chemical
companies surround the area where I grew up -- a place called “Rubbertown”
here in Louisville.

For too long, elected officials ignored our concerns about toxic
emissions. My uncle, a veteran and union member, developed multiple forms
of cancers before he died. We are painfully aware that cancer does not
discriminate -- it just kills.

Having Mitch McConnell -- one of the most powerful men in Washington -- as
a Senator hasn’t helped the folks in my community. It hasn’t stopped the
outrageous conditions in parts of Kentucky that, even in the 21st century,
struggle to access clean water for drinking and bathing. That’s why I’ve
been outspoken about climate injustice and introduced a resolution for the
Green New Deal in our Republican-controlled state legislature.

Across the country, we need leaders in Congress who are rooted in
community. I am that leader in Kentucky’s 3rd Congressional District. As
an activist, organizer, and Kentucky’s first Black woman state
representative in 20 years, I have proven time and time again that I will
prioritize the needs of The People -- not my own political gain.

[ [link removed] ]PCCC members across the nation have donated to my campaign. Can you? It
makes a huge difference.

In community,
