Tea Party of Kentucky Candidate Forum was a refreshing experience. About 150 people attended this event at Evangel Conference Center in Louisville on June 18th. The candidates and the patriots showed great enthusiasm for the up and coming election on November 8, 2011, clarifying that the Tea Party is not dead and insignificant, but alive and doing well.
While all of the candidates were invited to speak, sadly only the Republicans found it important enough to show up:
Candidate for:
Governor, Senator David Williams
Secretary of State, Bill Johnson
Auditor of Public Accounts, John T Kemper III
Attorney General, Todd P’Pool was represented by David Ray
Treasurer, K.C. Crosbie
Commissioner of Agriculture, Kentucky Rep. James Comer.
The candidates are united in purpose to take Kentucky forward in business, better schools, ethics, less government intrusion and more accountability to the voters.
From Kentuckians for Freedom:
Scott Reed (Louisville Tea Party), Bobby Alexander (Central Kentucky Tea Party), Jeff Blackstone (Owensboro Tea Party) and Ann and Vic Altherr (Grassroots Tea Party of Boone County) spoke of their efforts and activities in their communities.
