🚨 RATINGS CHANGE: Cook Political Report Shifts KY-06 in Zach Dembo’s Direction As Momentum Surges

COOK POLITICAL REPORT: “Polling from both parties shows Democratic prosecutor Zach Dembo and former Republican state Sen. Ralph Alvarado neck-and-neck — and some surveys even show Dembo in the lead”

Non-partisan race rater Cook Political Report just shifted Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District in Zach Dembo’s direction – the latest sign of surging momentum behind his campaign against weak and corrupt candidate Ralph Alvarado.

Cook notes in part: “Bevin picked Alvarado as his running mate, and Democrats are now airing ads accusing Alvarado of being complicit when Bevin pardoned hundreds of criminals on his way out of office. Bevin’s successor, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, has performed quite well in this Lexington-based district, winning it by 20 points in 2023.”

The rating shift is the latest data point showing Dembo on the march against Alvarado. Multiple public polls show Dembo pulling ahead, and non-partisan race raters continue shifting their predictions for KY-06 in his direction.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“The momentum behind Zach Dembo is real and only growing by the day. The more that Central Kentuckians learn about Ralph Alvarado’s record of corruption and his ties to disgraced former Governor Matt Bevin, the more turned off they get. Dembo is in position to flip this seat in November.”
