We can rebuild Kentucky stronger

[ffr]

Over the last two weeks in Kentucky, we have had our two highest weekly coronavirus case counts yet. Meanwhile, nationwide, we are again seeing more than 60,000 cases a day on average. Economically, our true unemployment rate in Kentucky seems to be over 10%. Compared to other wealthy countries, our inability to control this virus and help our citizens who are struggling is staggering.

When I pressed Sen. McConnell during our debate on why he had not taken action in months to help Kentuckians during this pandemic, he just laughed...

Gov. Andy Beshear has also called for more state and local government aid, which we need to protect the jobs and pensions of our teachers, firefighters, and first responders and the federal government must also provide the separate funding needed for test-and-trace programs.

Sen. McConnell has avoided doing any of this, instead convincing the White House it’s better not to negotiate at all. In the middle of a national crisis, his inaction is a dereliction of duty.

Our democracy’s future depends on getting rid of Sen. McConnell. It depends on your vote.

That's a fairly resounding endorsement of Amy McGrath if I've ever read one.

Come on Kentucky, GOTV. Don't give up and never give in! Be the silent majority that gives Kentucky the changes it needs!

Most of my relatives in my father's family live in KY. My sister suggested we move there because of that. The main reason I said no was Mitch McConnell. I will not live in a state that elects him over and over.
