Retired Marine fighter pilot Amy McGrath promises to take a COVID-19 test before her Monday debate with six-term Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell.
The Democrat expects her opponent to do likewise. “It’s about setting the example,” she said during an outdoor stop at a McGrath-for-Senate sign-bedecked Kiwanis Park in Mayfield, the Graves County seat.
She arrived wearing a camouflaged face mask and headed for a picnic pavilion. Before she took it off, she told the crowd of about 50 people — all wearing masks — to stand back and socially distance. “I want to make sure that everybody is safe,” she admonished.
