I'm seeing what's going on in Elisabeth Jensen's campaign and I just don't know what the fuss is about. Sure, I won by a tad less than 4 percentage points November 2012 but it was also when Obama was running for re-election. I feel great representing KY-06 and I'm going to stay right here!
Looks like the campaign of Democratic Candidate Elisabeth Jensen, challenger to Rep. Andy Barr in Kentucky's 6th Congressional District, is heating up.
Judging from the latest fundraising numbers from Q4 for her campaign, while she has ground to catch up vs. Andy Barr, Jensen has potential as a candidate running against Barr.
