Josh Hicks, Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress in the 6th District, has been endorsed by VoteVets, one of the largest veterans advocacy organizations in the country.
Hicks, who is taking on Republican Andy Barr, the incumbent, included the VoteVets endorsement statement in a press release:
“When it comes to putting his fellow Kentuckians and Americans before himself, Josh Hicks stands out. But it isn’t just his spirit of service. Josh knows the meaning of a hard day’s work, and what many Kentucky families are going through. Ironworker, rigger, police officer, Marine. That’s someone who understands the people he wants to represent, and who has proven he’ll always put them first.” – Jon Soltz, Iraq War veteran and Chairman of VoteVets
VoteVets has a substantial field organization of supporters and organizers, covering all 50 states. To learn more about their organization, visit their web site, VoteVets.org. The Hicks page in their list of endorsed candidates is here.
