U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie may be a darling among libertarians and constitutional conservatives, but the Kentucky Republican is the target of some who are actively recruiting a primary challenger for 2020.
Two independent sources with knowledge of campaign discussions say state Rep. Kim Moser, R-Taylor Mill, is being groomed for a possible bid against the congressman, who has gained notoriety for opposing bipartisan measures big and small.
Moser acknowledged in an interview with the Courier Journal that she's been approached by national party figures about taking on Massie in next year's Republican primary.
"We land on the same place on some issues, and obviously we're both very conservative and libertarian-leaning," she said. "But I would fall more in the pragmatic, solution-oriented camp and that's always going to be my issue. I think it's fine to disagree, but I'm always looking for solutions, and that's not what I see from Congressman Massie."
