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 U.S. Representative Ed Whitfield and State Senator Ken Winters, who greeted the crowd before the evening's speeches got underway.
"Kentuckians are talented. They're hard-working. And I know that Kentucky's future is strong when we have people like you all up and down these 120 counties of Kentucky that will be working together."
Also taking the podium were U.S. Senate candidates Rand Paul, Bill Johnson and Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson. All three are vying for the republican ticket in the November election to replace the seat being vacated by U.S. Senator Jim Bunning. Kentucky's primary elections take place May 18. You must register by Monday April 19 to be eligible to vote in the primaries.
