Friend,
Every day, I'm grateful for the dedication and passion of this team that's going to defeat Mitch McConnell. This fight will take all of us standing together—thank you again for being on board.
Today, I wanted to do something a bit different: introduce you to the original members of Team McGrath (in a manner of speaking)—the people who instilled in me the desire and capacity to take on tough challenges on behalf of others: my mother, Marianne, and my father, Donald.
My parents each overcame huge odds to succeed in life while prioritizing service and sacrifice. My father, who passed in 2018, was a family man who taught high school English for 40 years—that profession was a vocation for him, a service, and a way he expressed his faith. A native of Campbell County, he gave me my love of Kentucky and my drive to make this country a better place.
My mother, who’s also an amazing “Grammy” these days, was the oldest of seven children. She overcame polio at age 10, and became one of the first women to graduate from University of Kentucky’s medical school. Let me tell you—nothing was easy for her. She is the definition of grit. To this day, she’s my soul, my teacher, my inspiration, and yes, my doctor (I must say it is nice to have a physician on speed dial).
As I’ve become a Marine, a wife, and a mother, I think about my parents every day, the lessons of service and persistence they taught me—and as this campaign progresses, the contrast between those lessons and the values we see represented in our government today becomes ever starker.
Mitch McConnell has thrown the people of Kentucky and our democracy under the bus to satisfy his rich donors and special interests. That’s what the gridlock in the Senate is really about: Mitch doesn’t care about outcomes, or about serving those who elected him, or about lifting communities up. He just cares about his own power.
So let’s make 2020 the last year he ever gets to wield it.
If you’re ready for a leader for Kentucky who’s committed to service and has courage—the courage to do what’s right, to stand up to anyone when necessary, and to put people ahead of political fortune—chip in now, and let’s go win this:
