MIDWAY — Saying she has flipped a district before and vowing to do it again, Democrat Cherlynn Stevenson of Lexington launched her campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives before a gathering of supporters at a distillery in Woodford County Tuesday.
“I know what it takes to win a competitive seat with voters from all sides of the aisle by focusing on everyday issues, not political division, by knocking on every door I can and meeting voters where they are,” said Stevenson, who won an open seat in the Kentucky legislature in 2018 in a traditionally Republican district in southern Lexington.
She hopes to win next year in the 6th Congressional District held since 2013 by Republican Andy Barr who is running to succeed Mitch McConnell in the U.S. Senate.
