Senator McConnell Comments on Kentucky Election Results

November 8, 2016

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell released the following statement today regarding the elections in Kentucky:

“Tonight is a great night for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I want to congratulate my friend and Senate colleague, Rand Paul, for his resounding victory. I congratulate all of my Republican Congressional colleagues for their victories across the state, and I'm pleased to welcome Jamie Comer, the newest member of Kentucky's Congressional Delegation. In a particular way, I want to thank our many talented Kentucky state House and Senate Republican candidates.

“Until tonight, Kentucky was the last state in the South with at least one legislative chamber under Democratic control. No longer. By winning the state House, and holding onto the state Senate, a Republican state legislature can work with Governor Bevin to truly move our state forward and enact many long-needed, common-sense reforms that will greatly benefit all Kentuckians. This is a historic win that will soon be felt throughout the Bluegrass State.”
