Meet the 3 Kentucky Democrats vying to take on Mitch McConnell in November

1) Mike Broihier, a Kentucky farmer and retired lieutenant colonel with the Marines, is running on a progressive platform that includes Medicare for All and the universal basic income program proposed by former presidential candidate Andrew Yang. He has also been endorsed by New Age guru Marianne Williamson


2) Charles Booker is a state representative in Kentucky, and also running on Medicare for All, universal basic income and the Green New Deal. He's been endorsed by the Sunrise Movement for his positions on climate change.


3) Amy McGrath lost her congressional bid in 2018. But her profile as a former fighter pilot for the Marines (like Broihier, she's a retired lieutenant colonel) and as a more moderate Democrat than her opponents, has led to high hopes she can beat McConnell in 2020 — hopes that have helped her build a nearly $30 million war chest.
