Charles Booker says state needs a ‘Kentucky New Deal’
Update: 2021-11-30
Description
Hearkening to a time when Democrats were overwhelmingly powerful in Kentucky, Charles Booker is reaching back nearly a century for his new campaign initiative, saying the state needs a “Kentucky New Deal” to lift people out of poverty, build infrastructure and provide universal health coverage. Booker, a former Democratic state representative, is trying to unseat Kentucky’s junior Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul at the ballot box next year. He ran for Senate last year as well , narrowly losing his party’s nomination to retired Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath . And just as McGrath invoked former President Donald Trump ’s promise to “drain the swamp”—to the chagrin of some Democrats in Kentucky—in a recent interview, Booker said Trump was right about the government not working for most people.
