Come November, This Is the Man Who'll Replace Martha McSally in the US Senate
Former astronaut Mark Kelly brings a hell of a resume to his race in Arizona for the US Senate.
Incumbent Republican Senator Martha McSally was appointed in January 2019 to finish Sen. John McCain's term, after losing her previous Senate race to Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in November 2018, the first Republican to lose a Senate race in Arizona in three decades.
Mark Kelly has been leading McSally in most polling by a wide margin.
J.W. Williamson was the founding editor in 1972 of the Appalachian Journal: A Regional Studies Review, which he edited until July of 2000. He has taught college classes in Appalachian history, cultural politics, and literature, and he has lectured widely on the pop-culture history of "Appalachia" in the American consciousness. His books include Interviewing Appalachia, Southern Mountaineers in Silent Films, and Hillbillyland: What the Mountains Did to the Movies and What the Movies Did to the Mountains. He has won the Thomas Wolfe Award given by the Western North Carolina Historical Society, the Laurel Leaves Award given by the Appalachian Consortium, a special Weatherford Award given by Berea College, and the Cratis Williams-James Brown Award given by the Appalachian Studies Association.
