LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - The Latest on Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District race (all times local):
4:15 p.m.
Democrat congressional candidate Amy McGrath is telling voters to send a message on Election Day about the type of leaders people want in this country.
McGrath is challenging Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Barr in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District. It’s one of the most closely watched races in the country as both major political parties say it could be key in determining which political party controls Congress for the final two years of President Donald Trump’s first term.
Monday, McGrath met with volunteers who were knocking on doors and asking people to vote for her. She told them to counter the negative TV ads Barr has paid for in the district. She said electing her would send a message to Kentucky, the country and the world.

Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Barr is hoping an appearance by Donald Trump Jr. will help boost turnout in his competitive congressional race.
Trump Jr. spoke to a few hundred people at a rural airport hangar in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, on Monday, one day before voters will go to the polls to decide one of the closest congressional races in the country. Barr is a three-term incumbent facing Democrat Amy McGrath, a retired Marine fighter pilot.
Trump Jr. and former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle urged voters to vote for Barr and other Republican candidates who they say support President Donald Trump. Barr promised to continue the country’s economic surge and to help Trump build a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico.
