3. Kentucky is an Odd State

And I say this with love having been born in Lexington. They like their split tickets.

Clinton won the state in 1992. KY voted Democractic in Presidential elections until the 1950s but the last 11 out of 13 governors have been Democrats. If the Democrats get behind Conway and GOTV, we can win this seat. Conway might be considered by some to be "Evan Byah-lite" but ActBlue was supporting him last I looked and he could probably be counted on to be a "rank and file Democrat" when it counts...

4. Conway is the progressive.

Mongiardo is a DINO.
