Boone County, KY GOP expected to endorse Mitch McConnell's Tea Party challenger Thursday night
The Republican Party in Boone County, a hot-bed of tea party activity, is expected to consider endorsing Louisville businessman Matt Bevin over incumbent Sen. Mitch McConnell at a meeting Thursday night.
“That’s what is potentially going to happen,” Boone Party GOPchairman Rick Brueggemann said. “There’s not a motion on the floor but it’s my understanding, it’s intended.”
Brueggemann, however, said he questions whether there is enough support among the party’s precinct captains to endorse Bevin.
“There is significant dissatisfaction in Mitch’s voting record, but I don’t think, even though that might be the case, that many people want to necessarily endorse in a primary,” Brueggemann said.
