…

Holly Harris, who leads a bipartisan criminal justice reform group called the Justice Action Network and hails from Kentucky, argues the Bluegrass State needs assistance by June 30 or it’s going to result in layoffs in state and local law enforcement. McConnell is up for reelection this year and makes delivering for his state a hallmark of his campaigns.
