For Immediate Release: No Endorsement in the Senate Race

Update: Dale Emmons has contacted the CFK leadership. He meant to say Change To Win, a separate group that has endorsed Bruce Lunsford. He has apologized for the error, which was a simple confusion of names.

Since the withdrawal of Col. Andrew Horne, Change for Kentucky as a statewide group has not made an endorsement of a candidate for the US Senate.

This is contrary to what was said by Mr. Dale Emmons, who represented Mr. Bruce Lunsford at the Laffoon Dinner in Madisonville, Kentucky on March 29th. Mr. Emmons mistakenly said that Bruce Lunsford had been endorsed by Change for Kentucky.

First of all, Mr. Lunsford has never sought out a senatorial endorsement from Change for Kentucky or any of its local chapters across the Commonwealth. Nor has Mr. Lunsford appeared before any local chapters of Change for Kentucky.

Secondly, since the withdrawal of Col. Horne from the US Senate race, it should be noted that Change for Kentucky's legal status has changed and it is no longer a PAC which endorses candidates.

Local chapters of Change for Kentucky are making endorsements as local groups of Democrats.

In the US Senate Democratic Primary, most local chapters of Change for Kentucky have endorsed Louisville businessman and inventor Greg Fischer for the US Senate.

Chapters which have endorsed Greg Fischer for the US Senate include the following:

Campbell County
Frankfort and Franklin County
Kenton County
Mason County
Shelby County
