Meet the candidates in the 6th

Congressional Democratic Primary

Progress Kentucky will spend this time until November 2nd building relationships with the most important voters (and without us, likely non-voters) in key precincts across the district.

As the Trump MAGA regime works to gerrymander election maps across the country, desperate to hold onto their slim majority in the House of Representatives, the Kentucky 6th district becomes even more important.

Progress Kentucky is looking beyond the primary, and will be endorsing AFTER primary voters weigh in. We believe that all four of these candidates can flip the 6th and will protect the 6th district & its residents from the Trump regime, unlike our current Congressman Garland Hale Barr IV. We encourage you to look into each candidate as we get closer to the primary on May 19, 2026.

WHY IS THis important

Our Pledge of Support

Progress Kentucky has hosted each candidate on our podcast, Colonels of Truth, and every one of them has committed to running a positive campaign and using campaign funds solely to make their case to voters. Additionally, each candidate has pledged to support the eventual nominee and work together after the primary to win this race and flip the 6th for the first time in over a decade.
