o      In an Aug. 1, 2019, article, the Herald-Leader reported, “Josh Hicks has been a construction worker, Marine, police officer and lawyer. Now he wants a new job — congressman.

“Hicks announced Thursday he plans to seek the Democratic nomination to challenge U.S. Rep. Andy Barr, R-Lexington, in November 2020. Barr, who was first elected in 2012, is seeking his fifth term.”[1]

o      According to the same article, “Hicks — who supports abortion rights, is against the Trump administration’s policies at the border and thinks ‘obstruction of justice appears to have happened’ in the Mueller investigation — dismissed the notion that he’d be a ‘sacrificial lamb’ should he face Barr in November 2020.”[2]
