LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — Two-time Farm Bureau Golden Plow award winner and senior member of the Senate Agriculture Committee Senator Mitch McConnell today released the following statement accepting an invitation to the Kentucky Farm Bureau’s Measure the Candidate Forum:

“While the coronavirus pandemic has changed many aspects of the 2020 campaign, I’m glad to still be able to join the Farm Bureau and its members to discuss my record in the Senate leading on the issues that matter most for Kentucky farmers.

“I hope my opponent also chooses to attend this important forum so Kentuckians have the opportunity to compare us side-by-side. Hearing each candidate’s vision for Kentucky and the future of our agriculture industry is critical as Kentuckians decide who to vote for this year, and I look forward to making my case directly to Farm Bureau members.”
