Today’s Action: Ruin Mitch McConnell’s day…flip the Kentucky Governor’s seat
We have an opportunity to make life very difficult for Mitch McConnell. And that’s the kind of opportunity we love.
In less than two weeks, Kentuckians head to the polls to elect their governor, and Democrat Andy Beshear has a real shot at beating one of the most conservative, detested governors in America: Matt Bevin.
Despite Kentucky’s reputation as a deep red state, polls show Bevin locked in a tight race with the popular Democratic Attorney General Andy Beshear, and the Washington Post ranks it the most likely governor’s seat to flip to Democrats this year.
Bevin’s name might sound familiar – he’s spent his time in office insulting teachers, taking healthcare away from his most vulnerable constituents, and advocating for “prayer patrols” to fight gun violence.
Getting Andy Beshear elected means we have a real chance to move Kentucky forward with expanded Medicaid, fully funded public schools, and good-paying jobs. It also means sending Mitch a message that Democrats can win statewide in Kentucky.
