Mike Broihier
Kentucky Democrats will have more options on next year's ballot when deciding who should take on Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell in 2020.
Farmer and retired Marine Mike Broihier (pronounced Broy-er), a first-time candidate, entered the race Thursday with a three-minute advertisement that calls on voters to forget their labels.
"It's time to retire Mitch McConnell," Broihier said in an interview with the Courier Journal this week. "We have to do it to restore our democracy, and I've been warned about what he's capable of doing, but it doesn't scare me."
The spot features a diverse group of Kentuckians holding tiny chalkboards with different slurs and descriptions, such as "baby killer" and "hillbilly" and "queer."
"Labels are powerful things," Broihier says in the ad. "For 35 years, Mitch McConnell has used labels to reinforce old prejudices, divide us, to maintain his grip on power."
OP's Note: This is in addition to the announcement of Amy McGrath (D), who argued that McConnell needs to go because he's hindering things Trump is trying to do. She raised over $2.5 million in 2 weeks IIRC.
PLEASE HELP US DITCH MITCH!
Signed,
A pissed off Kentucky Liberal
