Moore and Luallen push KY-2 race at DCCC reception

DENVER – Some Kentuckians at the Democratic National Convention are talking up the possibility of the party winning the open-seat race in the 2nd Congressional District.

State Auditor Crit Luallen (D-Frankfort) told PolitickerKY.com that she and Kentucky Democratic Party chair Jennifer Moore spoke with Brian Wolff, the executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, about the race between state Sen. David Boswell (D-Owensboro) and state Sen. Brett Guthrie (R-Bowling Green) at a Sunday night fundraising reception in Denver.

“Jennifer Moore -- and I was with Jennifer Moore -- we spoke to the executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee about the 2nd district, and encouraged their support and participation there,” said Luallen.

“They are very aware of that race. They see it as one that has real possibilities for pick-up,” she added. “So, I think that is one that people are watching.”

Luallen and Moore were not the only ones lauding Boswell’s chances in the 2nd. U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Louisville) referenced the race during his address at the Kentucky delegation’s breakfast today.

“We can win that 2nd district seat,” Yarmuth told the crowd of influential Kentucky Democrats. “David Boswell’s got a great chance.”
