Charles Booker on DSCC Meddling in Kentucky Democratic Senate Primary

Statement

U.S. Senate candidate and state Representative Charles Booker issued the following statement following the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's decision to meddle in the Kentucky Democratic U.S. Senate primary:

"The Democratic Party shouldn't be in the business of interfering in primaries before voters have had a chance to make their voices heard. But instead of waiting for Kentucky Democrats to choose, the DSCC is coming in from Washington, DC to put their thumb on the scale and try and tell us who to vote for.

"There are some in the Democratic Party, including the DSCC, who still believe that the way to beat Mitch is by running to the soft center. But we've tried it their way, and we've lost.

"I believe that the only way to defeat Mitch McConnell, is to run against Mitch McConnell. Dancing around him isn't going to get us anywhere. We have to take the fight to him. You don't beat the most unpopular Senator in America by running away from him, or trying to be like him. You win by putting him on the defensive, holding him accountable, and making sure he has to answer for what he's done to us.

"The sooner the DSCC understands that, the sooner we'll finally retire Mitch McConnell once and for all."
