Retired Fighter Pilot Amy McGrath Announces Run For Congress In Kentucky With One Of The Best Politi

When 13-year-old Amy McGrath wrote her congressman to say her dream was to fly fighter jets, he told her women can’t serve in combat. Eighty-nine missions in places like Iraq and Afghanistan later, the now retired U.S. Marine Lt. Colonel has a new mission: winning a race for Congress in Kentucky.

This very well may be the most compelling campaign ad we have ever seen. Learn more about Amy and her campaign here.
