Bevin Sees RGA's Return as a Promising Sign

The Republican Governor’s Association is back on the air in Kentucky in support of Matt Bevin. 

The RGA stopped running TV ads for Matt Bevin last month, but returned to the airwaves this week in a seven-figure ad buy.  Following a speech on Wednesday to the Bowling Green Noon Rotary Club, Bevin said the RGA’s return is a sign his campaign is strong.

"There's others too that I understand are interested in coming in," Bevin told WKU Public Radio.  "The momentum is our side.  We are going to win this race and I think people want to help push us over the finish line."

Most of the RGA’s ads have attacked Democratic opponent, Jack Conway, for supporting the policies of President Obama.  Independent candidate Drew Curtis is also in the race for governor.   

Most political pundits view the outcome of the race as a tossup between Bevin and Conway with less than two weeks until election day.
