Notice anything about Kentucky’s 2020 congressional delegation? Bold progressive U.S. House candidate Attica Scott and U.S. Senate candidate Charles Booker are fighting to change that in 2022. To make it happen, their campaigns need early progressive support NOW.
Progressive Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3) has announced he will retire in 2022. We've endorsed Attica Scott to represent that urban, Democratic-leaning district which includes Louisville.
Attica is a State Representative now -- and the first Black woman elected to the Kentucky General Assembly in more than two decades. In her time in the Assembly, she has brought 80 bills to the floor including legislation banning no-knock warrants, banning discrimination against students who wear natural hairstyles to school, and requiring schools to teach about the holocaust and racism.
She will fight for racial justice, Medicare For All, a Green New Deal, voting rights, and more.
We've also endorsed 2022 U.S. Senate candidate Charles Booker who is running to defeat Republican Senator Rand Paul.
After Rand Paul renewed his specious, politically motivated, and dangerous attacks on Dr. Anthony Fauci in a Senate hearing yesterday, an NBC News analyst noted that "Paul is known for trafficking in half-truths, conspiracies, and disinformation. He has sought to build political support by becoming a leading figure in the COVID-19 denial movement and, as Fauci points out, has a section on his re-election campaign website promising to '#FireFauci.'"
The fact that Kentucky elected a Democratic governor in 2019 gives us reason to believe Kentucky can elect a Democratic senator in 2022 and defeat the national embarrassment that is Rand Paul. As Charles says, "Kentucky is not a 'red state.' It’s a disenfranchised state. It’s a place where the number of people who don’t vote outnumber those who do. If we change that, we will send Rand Paul packing."
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
