People's Campaign says 'Stand Against Rand'

The midterm elections are more than 17 months away but the Kentucky People’s Campaign is already targeting the Bluegrass State’s junior senator.

“Rand Paul (R)…is a deeply entrenched member, and sometimes ringleader, of the Republican Radical Right,” says a People’s Campaign fundraising email.

Hence, the progressive group has started a “Stand Against Rand because Rand Stands Against Us!” campaign. Adds the email: “With your partnership, we will connect with key Kentucky voters and take a stand for progress in America.”

The email doesn’t specifically endorse any potential Paul opponent. But the message points out that “Charles Booker, who is on a mission to serve Kentuckians from the ‘hood to the holler,’ has launched his exploratory committee – a first step in his quest to unseat one of the worst U. S. Senators in U. S. History – Rand Paul.”

So far, no other Democrats have formed exploratory committees or tossed their hats in the ring. But there’s been some speculation about a Paul challenge from Rocky Adkins, a veteran House lawmaker and senior advisor to Gov. Andy Beshear.
