McGrath asks voters to ‘send a message’

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP)- Democrat congressional candidate Amy McGrath is telling voters to send a message on Election Day about the type of leaders people want in this country.

McGrath is challenging Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Barr in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District. It’s one of the most closely watched races in the country as both major political parties say it could be key in determining which political party controls Congress for the final two years of President Donald Trump’s first term.

Monday, McGrath met with volunteers who were knocking on doors and asking people to vote for her. She told them to counter the negative TV ads Barr has paid for in the district. She said electing her would send a message to Kentucky, the country and the world.
