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.
Charles nearly defeated the establishment pick for Senate in 2020 due to tremendous grassroots support. Now, he’s the frontrunner to face Senator Rand Paul. Elizabeth Warren says, "This is a man who has lived the struggles other politicians just talk about. He grew up in one of the poorest zip codes in Kentucky. He experienced the pain of poverty firsthand, and saw his mom skip meals just so he could have enough. He’s been homeless, and had to ration his insulin because he couldn’t afford the medication he needed as a Type 1 diabetic. Now, he’s running to lift up working families in Kentucky and beyond."
After Rand Paul renewed his specious, politically motivated, and dangerous attacks on Dr. Anthony Fauci in a Senate hearing, 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.'"
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
