Amy McGrath is a retired marine fighter pilot who has a bit of an old beef with Sen. McConnell. According to an anecdote shared on her election page, McGrath appealed to her elected officials when she was 13 regarding her dreams of being a fighter pilot — women were not allowed to serve in combat roles then. Apparently, Sen. McConnell never wrote back.

After the law was changed, McGrath went on to serve for 20 years as a Marine Corps officer and flew 89 combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. McGrath’s stances tend to fall closer to the middle than Booker’s and she has managed to outperform his fundraising efforts a reported 40-1.

Can Democrats unseat McConnell?

McConnell has served in the Senate for 30 years and is the second longest serving senator. Early in the race, McGrath was the clear favorite to take on McConnell. But Booker came from behind and may just edge her out.

Unfortunately for Democrats, unseating McConnell will be no easy task — Kentucky is solidly red. It’s widely speculated that a win for Democrats would require support from across party lines.
