The Ditch Mitch Fund, a political action group, announced Monday it’s creating a “Draft Amy” website to inspire the former Marine to enter next year’s contest against Senator Mitch McConnell.
This comes weeks after reports surfaced that McGrath, who lost her Kentucky congressional bid last fall, is being courted by top Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, to run against Kentucky’s top Republican.
In addition to the website and digital ads, Ditch Mitch Fund is pledging that any money it raises will be immediately transferred to McGrath’s future campaign if she decides to run.
“Our mission is to hold Mitch McConnell accountable,” Ryan Aquilina, the group’s executive director, told the Courier Journal on Monday. “And part of this campaign we’re doing is to show her and everyone else that grassroots Democrats are going to be there for her; we’re going to show up and raise money.”
