Rocky Adkins

What finer group to, to honor as our grand marshal than our nation's, uh, nation's veterans? And this morning we celebrated one of our, by far our most famous veteran.

Uh, we had, uh, a, a ceremony downtown to dedicate, uh, Franklin Sowsley Memorial Park that folks will be able to, um, to be able to take advantage of that park, to be able to utilize that park and use that, as Rocky Adkins said, to steal some words from him, he said to use it as a classroom-

Right

... and for folks to be able to learn history.

So to- today- It's really cool for us, Gene, for us to be able to have folks, folks that Matt and Renee have on their podcast frequently.

We had the... not only the top brass from Kentucky Farm Bureau with Eddie Melton and, uh, with Drew Graham, but we had our Commissioner of Agriculture is here, uh, Congressman Andy Barr.

We've got Rocky Adkins who's a, is a candidate for governor.

We've got several folks from our, our state legislator, uh, legislature.

Also, Barr and Booker continue their fight in Kentucky's open U.S. Senate race.

Democratic candidate for governor, Rocky Adkins, claims a fundraising record before the year of the elections to be held.

More cameras about to go up along interstates to catch speeders.

Bracing for some tropical weather here in Kentucky, comment is next on KET.

So we have all these races coming up in just a few weeks.

And then next year's race for governor keeps popping into view.

And this week, Democratic candidate Rocky Adkins announced he has set a record for money raised right out of the gate.

Adkins' campaign says he raised more than $1.75 million in the first quarter after he got in.

He's got one tomorrow in Louisville.

It's kind of like an all-day festival with, uh, Democratic, uh, gubernatorial candidate Rocky Adkins, Morgan McGarvey, uh, the third district congressman will be there, um, and, uh, Louisville mayoral candidate Shamika Parrish-Wright.

So he's having some stuff, um, around Louisville and, but it's not as, it's not the same pace that we've seen.

Well, he would need to perform very well in Louisville, and well in Lexington, and would still need votes from way out, right?

Eva Marquis, I can't pronounce her middle name, but Eva Daly out of Moorhead, Rowan County and Elliott County.

She's running for Rocky Adkins' old seat.

And so It's been held by a Republican for the last eight years, but she is a young, progressive woman with an incredible story.

And I think people are ready for new energy, and she's bringing it.

So just think about that.

And every door that you knock or every conversation you have, that helps not just our local community, but really our entire country.

I've heard Rocky Adkins recently say, the last thing you want to do is wake up on November 3 and not think that you put everything you had into the race, into the election cycle, which you all are doing.

It's crunch time.

It is getting going before the midterms can be settled.

Mario, Democrats Rocky Adkins and the Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Coleman traveling the state hard.

What are you watching?

We'll continue to watch.
