Everything you need to know about Amy McGrath, the former Marine fighter pilot taking on Sen. Mitch McConnell in the 2020 elections.
She's a retired Marine fighter pilot, which means she’s not afraid to fight for the rights of her fellow Americans. She's also a mom to three kids under 6, so it’s clear she can multitask, even with the theme of Elmo's World playing in the background.
— Amy McGrath July 9, 2019 "I don't want to be there just to fill a seat. I want to make a difference," McGrath tells MAKERS."We have all of these former military women running for Congress [because] we see what's happening in our government. We're basically saying, ‘I fought for my country and I am a woman and I'm not going to stand for that.’"
The law regarding women was repealed in 1993. And 200 flight hours and 89 missions flight missions later — including campaigns against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda — McGrath proved that repealing the ban was a sensible move. Still, while McGrath may have lost that battle, she is prepared to engage in a full-on war against the GOP establishment in 2020. And on the morning of July 9, McGrath announced her plans to challenge the main target: McConnell himself, the longest-serving Republican Senate leader ever, with a campaign video titled, “The Letter.”
