Bernie Sanders to rally in Lexington Wednesday

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders will spend two days in Kentucky this week, adding a rally in Lexington on Wednesday.

The Vermont U.S. senator’s campaign said Monday the rally would be at Heritage Hall. The campaign had previously announced that he would attend a rally at Louisville’s Waterfront Park on Tuesday night.

Both events are free and open to the public. Gates open at 4 p.m., and admission is first-come, first-served. RSVPs are encouraged at Go.berniesanders.com/page/event/detail/rally/gpgdmp.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, spent part of Monday afternoon campaigning in Ashland before making a swing through West Virginia.

The Clinton campaign said Sunday that former President Bill Clinton would attend public events Tuesday in Morehead, Lexington and Louisville. Details weren’t released.

Kentucky’s primary election is May 17.
