Grayson County Sheriff: “We need somebody that’s going to stand alongside us, not tear us down. And Mitch McConnell is the man to do that.”
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — Team Mitch today released a new ad highlighting the support Senator Mitch McConnell has from Kentucky law enforcement officials. In “Alongside Us,” Grayson County Sheriff Norman Chaffins, Henderson County Sheriff Ed Brady, and Warren County Sheriff Brett Hightower share how Senator McConnell is a constant ally to law enforcement as they work to protect Kentucky communities.
“Kentucky law enforcement officials work tirelessly to protect our communities, and in turn, they trust Senator McConnell to work for them in the Senate. While left-wing extremists call to defund the police, Senator McConnell is stopping that idea in its tracks and making clear that Kentucky law enforcement officials will always enjoy his respect and support as they carry out their mission to protect and serve Kentuckians,” said McConnell Senate Committee campaign manager Kevin Golden.
