As past-president of the Kentucky County Judge-Executive Association, I endorse a candidate for office only after careful consideration and measurement of that individual. In the Democratic primary for United States Senate, one candidate measures far above the others in the field: Greg Fischer.
Greg has a sincerity and desire unlike anything I have seen in a great while. He’s running for all the right reasons, to better Kentucky, to better our nation and to brighten what has now become a dim outlook for our future
Kentucky has a rich history of sending individuals to the U.S. Senate who embody the best ideals of our nation, whose actions are guided by the principles of liberty and justice and the betterment of all our citizenry. Such individuals as Clay, Barkley, Chandler, Cooper and Ford never lost sight of Kentucky or the people they represented.
I am convinced that Greg Fischer is such a person. He is not seeking the limelight of political office. Nor is he seeking the seat merely to wield power. Greg Fischer is seeking to make a difference and to serve our entire Commonwealth. I heartily recommend a vote for Greg Fischer in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.
Tommy Turner,
Larue County Judge-Executive
