Kentucky's U.S. Senate candidates took their high profile campaigns to eastern Kentucky on Monday with a little more than one week left until the election.
Republican Senator Mitch McConnell's "Kentucky Leads America" bus tour has seven planned stops throughout eastern Kentucky with Grammy-award winning artist Lee Greenwood. Last week, McConnell campaigned with artist Jimmy Rose, a Kentucky native who finished third on season 8 of America's Got Talent.
Democratic candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes' "Kentucky vs. Washington" bus tour has stops scheduled in seven eastern Kentucky counties on Monday. The United Mineworkers of America plan to campaign for Grimes in western Kentucky on Tuesday.
Kentucky's coal country has been featured prominently in both campaigns as the candidates fight for votes in a close race.
