NRCC Puts Vicki Glisson on "Young Guns" List


I cannot believe that this got no coverage locally. The National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee has added Vicki Glisson, candidate for Congress in KY-3, to its "Young Guns" list.

That's a big deal. In a cycle where Republicans are losing many incumbents due to retirement, Vicki actually presents an opportunity for a pick-up.

Granted, local media almost uniformly view themselves as progressives and therefore don't want Vicki to win. Still, this recognition by the NRCC is, how to put it, newsworthy

To make the list, Vicki had to meet certain benchmarks set by the NRCC. She not only met the benchmarks, but in each instance exceeded them.  For example, she has out-raised John Yarmuth for the last two reporting periods -- something else you don't see covered in mainstream media.
