Senator Wendell Ford It was my honor to serve the people of Kentucky for nearly 40 years. I served with Senator Mitch McConnell so I can tell you that he embodies what is wrong with Washington today – by letting party politics lead to gridlock and obstruction, he has let the people of Kentucky down. I can no longer sit on the sidelines. The time has come for a new generation of leadership and that’s why I’m so proud to endorse Alison Lundergan Grimes in our upcoming election for US Senate. I’ve known Alison for most of her life and she brings a results-oriented, common sense perspective that is exactly what we need to move past these partisan fights and ensure Washington works for everyday Americans again. But Alison has a tough fight on her hands. Mitch McConnell has built a war chest of $10 million, and his Super PAC has already spent over half a million dollars attacking her with false television ads. We need to turn the page on the same old partisan politics. We need leaders who can disagree without being disagreeable, who understand just as Henry Clay did, that getting things done requires us to compromise in order to serve the greater good. I know that is how Alison will approach her work in the US Senate. She will look out for Kentucky’s families, not the big corporations. And she will work across party lines to get things done. Wendell Ford
