Let's talk Amy McGrath into running for McConnell's seat in 2020.

Here is Amy McGrath's facebook page. (still looking for a direct email address). Chuck Schumer has been talking to her about running for McConnell's seat in 2020.

Here's more about her:

Here's where she stands on issues:

Here is my post to her. It could help her decide if she hears from a bunch of DU'er's. This is not a KY fight, this is a national battle.

Hi Amy,
PLEASE run in the 2020 senate race against McConnell. We need you badly! When we elect a Democrat as president (and we will), they will by stymied by McConnell's obstruction and partisanship. We cannot allow this country to continue on the current disastrous path.
You would have incredible support nationwide. McConnell polls in the low 30's in KY. You can beat him!

With enough support, she could take on McConnell and win.

She is superior to McConnell in every way. I hope she runs against him.

She seems like a great candidate

There was also a local sports talk radio guy that was talking about challenging McConnell as well.
