Your First Kentucky 2018 Candidate for Donations: Sam Gaskin
He's a gun owner who wants background checks, closing the gun show loophole and "red-flagging" people with more than one assault rifle.
No word yet on reproductive rights, but for the moment he looks good.
From the Hopkinsville New Era:
Sam Gaskins is official in his bid to be a U.S. congressman, having filed to run for 1st District representative Wednesday in Frankfort.Hopkinsville, by the way, is by far the most diverse community in the far-western First District. If Gaskin can mobilize the African-American community there, he's got a real shot at this.
If no one else files as a Democrat for the seat, Gaskins is expected to face a familiar foe in 2018 in incumbent Rep. James Comer. Comer won that election in a landslide, but Gaskins did garner 27 percent of the vote.
This time, he believes he has what it takes to win and is better prepared for the long campaign ahead.

“Our president needs to shut up,” Gaskins said in references to Trump’s rhetoric on North Korea, including comments about fire and fury.
As a veteran, Gaskins doesn’t believe there should be troops on the ground, saying they are stretched thin as it is; however, he said if Kim Jong Un continues on his path, and the growing rhetoric between him and Trump continue, he’s afraid troops on the grown will be a reality.

Gaskins has said many times he believes a single-payer system, like in other countries, is the only way to solve the country’s problem with rising health care costs. As long as competing health care companies are involved, he believes the prices will keep rising. But, whether it’s what is currently happening to health care under the Trump administration or the Affordable Care Act under President Obama, the system needs a full overhaul.
His website is still under construction - Sam! Get that thing up and running! Money won't wait! - but here is his facebook page.
