Murray, KY – US Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney says his Kentucky campaign will have two state-level finance chairs, one a mining executive, the other a marketing consultant. Romney made the announcement Monday. Joe Craft, head of the coal mining firm Alliance Resource Partners, and Lexington marketing consultant Kelly Knight will serve as co-chairs. Romney already has a fundraiser scheduled in Lexington November 17th. Romney says Kentucky has been hit hard in an ailing economy during President Barack Obama's term in office. He says he believes Commonwealth voters want a president who will bring back jobs and restore economic growth.
