In Kentucky we are fighting hard to expand our Congressional majorities. Bruce Lunsford is giving Mitch McConnell all he can handle, and in the First Congressional District, Heather Ryan is proving to be a more formidable candidate than most expected. Events in the next couple of days only promise to heat things up.
Bill Clinton will be in Paducah and Bowling Green on Friday to stump for Lunsford and Kentucky candidates. In the race to oust McConnell, Lunsford has this new ad up:
Mitch actually showed today to debate in Murray, althought I could not make that event. This race is tied or within the margin of error heading into the home stretch. Go here to help ditch Mitch:

In the First Congressional District, Heather Ryan's campaign has hit another gear. Our T.V. ads started in parts of Western Kentucky yesterday, with the rest of the district slated to begin on Monday.
Here is the latest e-newsletter from Heather:
So much has happened since our last e-newsletter that it is difficult to know where to begin!
First, I claim ABSOLUTE VICTORY over my opponent during the only televised debate on KET. Not only was Mr. Whitfield too cowardice to appear, he actually threatened legal action against Kentucky Education Television should they not play his 6 minute, unedited commercial AFTER my appearance. This unprecedented move changes public debates forever more as no longer will incumbents appear, they will simply run off a campaign commercial like Exxon Eddie and claim they have some "right" to their unchallenged statements. SHAMEFUL!
Next, there are TONS of last minute events going on this weekend! Please check the schedule and join us for as many as you can! Your help to GOTV is ESSENTIAL during this election!
Finally, our commercials are NOW RUNNING! Check below for a link to watch our creativity!
