Heather is young, energetic, and highly intelligent. She is educated, and is a veteran, wife, and mother. She believes strongly in Progressive ideals and wants to expand our Congressional majority with a "Fighting Democrat" that isn't afraid to fight for us. She has already shown she is not afraid to fight the Mitch McConnell machine, and the failed Republican agenda.

My question is, Have you seen Heather Ryan? If not, you are missing a rising star in Kentucky's Democratic Party, and a great Democratic candidate to expand our Congressional majorities with.

With that in mind, I want to introduce you to Heather Ryan and respectfully ask for your support in defeating Exxon Ed Whitfield with this Progressive young lady that represents a new generation of leadership in our party, leadership we can all be proud of.

Of course, it all starts at the Ryan for Kentucky website. Go here to see Heather's site, and sign up for updates to follow our campaign:

Now, I want to show you Heather Ryan in her own words. First, Heather Ryan was gracious enough to sit down with me and answer questions from Kentucky's blogosphere:

As you can see, Heather definately has her head on straight and shares our values. That is not all however, Heather is a great speaker and can fire up a crowd. Every time Democrats in our district hear her, they respond. You can easily see that in these two speeches given to Kentucky Democrats. This speech was given in front of 3000+ Kentucky Democrats as Heather shared the stage at a Hillary Clinton event in Kentucky:

This speech was given at a dinner that was also attended by Bill Clinton at another campaign event in Kentucky:

As you can see, Heather shares our values and beliefs and isn't afraid to fight for them. When Democrats in this district see and hear her, they support her. She is more than willing to fight the Republicans here in Kentucky, and on the national level.

We need the support of all Democrats to defeat Exxon Ed Whitfield and expand our Congressional  majorities. That is why I started an ActBlue page to help her get the resources we need to win this race. Please consider supporting grassroots Democrats in Kentucky to change our Congress here:

Heather recently crossed the $5000 point in grassroots fundraising online and we need all Democrats behind us. Heather espouses the views of the members of this site, and deserves our support.

Best wishes everyone!!
