Louisville Native Sue Foster endorses Amy McGrath
PARIS, KY. – Lifelong education and union advocate Sue Foster has announced her endorsement of Amy McGrath.
Sue Foster’s endorsement highlights Amy McGrath’s commitment to Kentuckians and her principled leadership. Foster supports McGrath’s campaign for the U.S. Senate seat in Kentucky, ensuring the state has a strong voice in Washington.
Sue Foster has devoted her career to supporting working families and advancing public education in Louisville. As President of the Jefferson County Association of Educational Support Personnel (AFSCME Local 4011), she represents thousands of Jefferson County Public School employees and advocates for their interests.
As a 2022 Democratic nominee for the Kentucky House, Foster demonstrated her commitment to public education, fair wages, and advocacy for Louisville. As a union representative for the state’s largest education system, she represents over 6,000 educators serving nearly 100,000 students in Jefferson County Public Schools.
“Sue Foster represents the future of Kentucky education. She highlights the outstanding work of our educators and the clear need for greater state and federal support. I am honored to work alongside Foster; she demonstrates selfless leadership and is prepared to take on any challenge,” McGrath said.
As a veteran, educator, and mother of three, Amy McGrath understands the importance of quality education and the opportunities it provides. Her campaign focuses on lowering costs for working families, expanding rural healthcare, and ensuring fair representation for all Kentuckians.
Foster emphasized that McGrath’s experience uniquely qualifies her to represent Kentucky at a pivotal time for the Commonwealth and the nation.
“Amy McGrath represents everything Kentuckians need in a leader in our nation’s capital. As a veteran who served side-by-side with our world allies, she has firsthand knowledge of the strength and importance of a unified front of all NATO members. Her work in the Pentagon as an advisor on defense and foreign policy, coupled with her time as a USAID liaison, enables her to hit the ground running from day one. In the world in which we currently live in, we can’t afford to have Amy’s experience and knowledge fighting and protecting Kentucky families,” said Foster.
The primary election will be held on Tuesday, May 19, 2026. Voters can find polling locations, hours, and registration information on the Kentucky Voter Information website.
