The Brohier Brigade has its marching orders from the CO. 

"Though this primary campaign has come to a close, our mission to beat Mitch McConnell continues," said an email sent today by retired Marine Lt. Col. Mike Brohier, who finished third in the Democratic senate primary. "That’s why I’ve asked every member of the Broihier Brigade here in Kentucky to vote for Amy McGrath this November."

McGrath, a retired Marine jet pilot who also made lieutenant colonel, edged state Sen. Charles Booker to earn the right to battle Sen. Mitch McConnell on Nov. 3. 

In the email, Brohier pledged to spend "these next four months reaching out to farmers, teachers, and veterans — folks with whom I share a common life experience — to ensure they turn out to vote against Mitch McConnell.

"Let’s prove to the world that the Broihier Brigade will play a critical role in Mitch McConnell’s defeat."

The email also included a link to the campaign's online store where troops can demonstrate their Broihier Brigade pride by getting some of our limited edition Broihier Brigade swag."

After shopping, Brohier asked his supporters to "help me defeat Mitch McConnell this fall."

He concluded, "Though this primary did not give us the outcome we wanted, I know that the work of the Broihier Brigade is far from over. Let’s show the world what we can do.

"Let’s keep up the fight. Thank you for being a part of this team. It means the world to me and Lynn."
