Courtesy of Lexington Herald Leader:
In July, after 20 years in the Marine Corps, Lt. Col. Amy McGrath packed up her things and moved back to Kentucky.
On Tuesday, less than a month after the move, her campaign released a video announcing that she will run for Congress as a Democrat in the Sixth Congressional District, which is represented by Republican Andy Barr of Lexington.
“This is my new mission,” McGrath, 42, said in the announcement video. “To take on a Congress full of career politicians who treat the people of Kentucky like they’re disposable.”
Oh this is certainly going to give Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell night terrors.
My favorite part is that McGrath makes health care a central theme of her campaign.
I think this is a winner for Democrats, and she is the perfect candidate to deliver that message.
