Rand Paul 2010 | U.S. Senate

Ambassador Cathy Bailey issued the following statement regarding her support of Rand Paul:

“I have consistently said that I wanted the Republican Party of Kentucky to nominate a true conservative to replace Senator Jim Bunning in Washington D.C. Like many people, I was originally told things about Rand Paul’s views that turned out to be false. The truth is Rand Paul is a true conservative and he will not participate in the business-as-usual culture of Washington D.C. I am confident that he will stand up for fiscal discipline, just as Senator Bunning has done time and again.”

“As a former U.S. Ambassador, one of the most important issues to me is foreign policy. After talking with Rand Paul I am persuaded that he has the judgment and conservative values to make sound foreign policy decisions as a member of the U.S. Senate.”

“The bottom line for me came in deciding which of these two candidates is strong enough and conservative enough to truly stand against President Obama’s liberal agenda, which is pushing the United States down a treacherous path on many fronts. After taking everything into consideration, I, like many other Kentucky Republicans, came to the conclusion that we need Rand Paul in Washington D.C. He is the right man at the right time for Kentucky and for the U.S. Senate.”
