FRANKFORT, Ky. – Today, Kentucky Democratic Party (KDP) Chair Colmon Elridge released the following statement congratulating Zach Dembo in his election as the Democratic nominee in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District race:

“The 6th Congressional District has lacked real representation in Washington under Andy Barr, who enthusiastically voted for the largest cuts to healthcare in U.S. history. As a federal prosecutor, Zach Dembo’s experience fighting corruption makes him uniquely qualified to counter Trump’s self-serving agenda in Congress. Zach has one focus: improving the lives of Kentucky families. We look forward to helping him flip the 6th and forging a better, more affordable path for our Commonwealth and our country.”
