GLASGOW, Ky. — Republican U.S. Senate candidate Andy Barr visited Glasgow on Tuesday as candidates made their final push ahead of Kentucky’s early voting period, which begins Thursday.
Barr is seeking to succeed longtime U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, who announced he would not seek another term after more than four decades in the Senate.
Supporters gathered at A Little Taste of Texas for Barr’s early-afternoon visit, which drew several Republican officials from Barren County and neighboring counties.
