I’m Auditor Mike Harmon and candidate for Governor in the May 16 Republican primary. I would encourage everyone to visit MikeHarmon.com as well as https://ivoterguide.com/all-in-state/ky .

I’m a Christian, a husband, a father, and a grandfather and I want my kids, and my grandkids, and someday my great grandkids, to live in a state and a nation where they can accomplish anything. But unfortunately, our current Governor has put such a focus of fear over freedom. He shut down businesses, shut down in person unemployment offices, and most importantly, he shut down churches, tried to tell us how we could worship our Lord, and he sent the State Police to enforce. We need a governor that will focus on freedom over fear!

I’m the most experienced candidate with 13 years as State Representative and 7 plus years as Auditor. I’m running to eliminate the state income tax, empower parents when it comes to their children’s education, and ensure that all portions of the state — from far Western Kentucky to Eastern Kentucky, are remembered and represented.

Even with all my experience, I’m not a polished politician, but if you want someone who loves the Lord, loves his family, and loves this country and in that order, I hope you will think of me, Mike Harmon.

If you want someone who has fought for Your Freedoms, Your Liberties, Your Conservative Values all my Life, I hope you will think of me, Mike Harmon.

Thanks and God Bless, Mike
