AP Photo/Wade Payne Travis Brenda, a high school math teacher in Kentucky, ousted the majority leader of the state's House of Representatives on Tuesday, with a narrow win in the GOP primary race. Brenda credited a groundswell of teacher support for the win and said it sends a message that teachers and public workers won't be silent. "They picked on the wrong group," said Brenda, a fourth-generation farmer and 20-year teaching veteran who's never run for public office before. Dozens more teachers are mounting electoral challenges on ballots this November. LANCASTER, Ky.
