Murray, KY – An estimated 200 people turned out to Murray State's Curris Center Saturday night to support Kentucky's republican candidates at the Jackson Purchase Lincoln Day Dinner. Among the attendees were State Senator Ken Winters, U.S. Representative Ed Whitfield and U.S. Senate candidate Bill Johnson, who's vying for the republican ticket in the November election to fill the seat being vacated by U.S. Senator Jim Bunning.
"We're at a make-or-break moment in our nation. Are we going to defend the constitution, or are we going to destroy it?"
U.S. Senate candidates Rand Paul and Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson, also in the race for Bunning's seat, took turns at the podium as well. Kentucky's primary elections take place May 18. You must register by Monday April 19 to be eligible to vote in the primaries.
