LOUISVILLE, KY — Charles Booker, Kentucky’s Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, today announced the staff and consultants who will lead his campaign through the general election. The announcement follows a comprehensive post-primary restructuring that included changes in leadership and personnel. The operation pairs nationally recognized talent with organizers rooted in communities across the Commonwealth.

“Kentuckians are ready for a senator who will actually fight for them and this is the group built to take that fight everywhere, from the hood to the holler,” said Charles Booker. “We are going to compete everywhere and continue to earn every vote between now and Election Day.”

“This is the team that will carry the campaign through Election Day,” said Summer Wylie, the press secretary for Booker for the Commonwealth. “Kentucky may be called ruby red, but we believe it is in play. This group has the experience and urgency to compete aggressively across the Commonwealth.”

Distinct from Booker’s previous campaigns, the team brings extensive robust experience from presidential, U.S. Senate, gubernatorial, congressional, statewide, and local races across strategy, field, organizing, communications, media, polling, fundraising, and research.
