Republican Party of Kentucky Issues Statement on McConnell Not Seeking Re-election

Frankfort, Kentucky (Feb. 20, 2024) — Republican Party of Kentucky Chairman Robert Benvenuti issued the following statement regarding Sen. Mitch McConnell’s decision not to seek re-election.

 

"The Republican Party of Kentucky offers its deepest gratitude to Sen. Mitch McConnell for his extraordinary and steadfast service to our state and nation. From his early days as county judge-executive, to becoming the longest-serving Senate party leader in history, he has faithfully served the people of Kentucky with integrity and dedication.

 

"Without his vision and tireless efforts, we would not be the majority party in Kentucky, with strong voter registration, supermajorities in our legislature, and seven of Kentucky’s eight seats in Washington. His principled, conservative leadership has shaped policies that have strengthened both our state and our country.

 

"We all owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude for his unparalleled service, and we wish him continued success in the years ahead."
