On the evening of Thursday, October 18th, 2018, District 6 congressional candidate Amy McGrath, the challenger for incumbent opponent Andy Barr, visited Woodford county for a potluck rally. McGrath held a rally at Falling Springs and was joined by several other local office candidates including state representative James Kay, Versailles mayoral candidate Lisa Johnson, and state representative candidate Joe Graviss. Hundreds of people from across the district packed into the red barn in support of McGrath. Below are a few pictures of the event:

Overall, the event was a huge success as it brought many members of the district together to meet McGrath. As very few major political figures visit Versailles, it was extremely fun and interesting to be able to attend an event like this so close to home.
