U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell Appears In Eastern Kentucky
The Republican Party in Kentucky apparently needed some high-profile help in a contest for a vacant state Senate seat. They called on U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, who has been on a tour of eastern and northern Kentucky in support of Jack Ditty, a dermatoligist from Russell, who is seeking the slot left vacant when Senator Charlie Borders resigned in July to accept a position on the Kentucky Public Service Commission. Appearing Wednesday (today) in Pikeville at the Rotary Club's luncheon meeting, McConnell spoke to us about the need to elect Republican Ditty in order to keep the Republican majority in the Kentucky Senate, currently at 20 to 17.
Following his Pikeville appearance, including a reception at the East Kentucky Expo Center, McConnell also appeared at the Mountain Arts Center and Jenny Wiley State Park in Prestonsburg.
