Gray will work for Ky.

Sen. Mitch McConnell spends most of his time in Washington. Sen. Rand Paul has spent most of the past year traveling the country in a futile attempt to be president. Gov. Matt Bevin seems mostly interested in payback to Gov. Steve Beshear.

They just don’t get what it means to be a real Kentuckian with Kentucky pride and love for our Bluegrass and mountains.

We have a chance to elect a senator who was born and raised in Kentucky with an outstanding record in business and who has been a successful mayor in Lexington.

I am not saying he can bring back coal, but Jim Gray will work for us to help replace what we have lost, whether it is coal or other industries.

What do we have to lose? We have lost so much already and Gray understands that and will work for Kentucky.
