Alison Lundergan Grimes Running For Senate Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes announced Monday that she would challenge Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in 2014. "I have met with supporters, we had a great conversation," she said at a press conference in Frankfort, Ky. "We can next make the best move, the best difference by running for the U.S. Senate." Grimes is the first Democrat to mount a challenge against McConnell. Actress Ashley Judd had considered running against him, but ultimately decided not to. A poll conducted by the Senate Majority PAC in late May showed Grimes and McConnell tied in a hypothetical matchup. Even though he represents deep-red Kentucky, McConnell, a five-term senator, is very unpopular in the state. An April Public Policy polling survey showed him with a 36 percent favorability rating, while 54 percent disapproved of his job performance. In a January Courier-Journal/SurveyUSA poll, 34 percent of respondents said they would vote against McConnell no matter who runs against him. McConnell immediately responded to her run in a statement. "Accepting the invitation from countless Washington liberals to become President Obama's Kentucky candidate was a courageous decision by Alison Lundergan Grimes and I look forward to a respectful exchange of ideas," he said. "The next sixteen months will provide a great opportunity for Kentuckians to contrast a liberal agenda that promotes a war on coal families and government rationed health care with someone who works everyday to protect Kentuckians from those bad ideas."
