Kentucky Blue In 2022 Grass, A Chat with Conor Halbleib, (D-KY5th): Host: Adam Sommer @Adam_Sommer85Guest: Conor Halbleib @conor_halbleibPicture for me a candidate for US Congress in south-eastern Kentucky. https://conor4kentucky.com/events/https://secure.actblue.com/donate/conorhalbleibforcongressThis part of the state is miles from what you likely know of Kentucky, hours from Louisville, Frankfort, and Lexington. Sandwiched between West Virginia to the North east and Virginia to the direct East, touching Northern Tennessee. It’s coal country. No major towns, little access to national highways, with the Cumberland plateau and Cumberland mountains as major features. If you’re a Jason Isbell fan you’ve heard of this area - and my guest for this chat could be a protagonist in an Isbell song himself. Do you have that candidate in your mind? Good.
