Mitch McConnell: “Representing our commonwealth has been the honor of a lifetime. I will not seek this honor an eighth time.”

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

Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home.

So I hate that I’ll miss the fun this year, but I’m sending my best wishes to the St. Jerome community for a successful picnic.

I'll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I'll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business.
