Candidates File For Major Offices
KENTUCKY...
Eleven people have filed to run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Jim Bunning. The notables who filed by the deadline on Tuesday included the state's lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general and the son of a former Republican presidential candidate. All of the state's U.S. House members filed for re-election. None drew primary election opponents, but all will face challengers in the general election.
Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo and Attorney General Jack Conway are among five Democrats running for U.S. Senate. Secretary of State Trey Grayson and Bowling Green physician Rand Paul, son of former GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul, are among six Republicans in the race.
