Mitch McConnell: “I want to make certain the administration knows that there are many members of Congress who are serious about the issues…”

But, my, how times have changed. Today, western Kentucky is a conservative Republican sea of red.

I’m still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors’ orders. Unfortunately, that means I won’t be able to make it to Fancy Farm, Kentucky…

When I first attended forty-two years ago, Fancy Farm was a pretty lonely place to be a Republican.

Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I've received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff.
