Kunkel Joins Bevin Campaign

Pure Politics

The northern Kentucky field representative for U.S. Senator Rand Paul has resigned that post to head part of Matt Bevin’s Republican Campaign for Senator against incumbent Mitch McConnell. Bernie Kunkel made the announcement in Maysville Saturday at the annual Buffalo Trace Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner.

He’ll direct Bevin’s campaign in the 4th Congressional District. Kunkel spoke with Insight Cable’s Pure Politics

Kunkel tells Pure Politics the decision to leave Senator Paul’s staff was difficult and he would never have done it if Bevin weren’t, in Kunkel’s view, such an exceptional candidate.
