Governor Ramps Up Support
For Mongiardo In Senate RaceWill Serve As Special Guest at Three Mongiardo Fundraisers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frankfort --- Lt. Governor and U.S. Senate candidate Daniel Mongiardo's campaign announced today that Governor Steve Beshear will begin actively helping Mongiardo in his Senate race by attending three Mongiardo fundraising events as a ‘special guest' before the end of the year.
The first fundraising event is scheduled to take place in the Northern Kentucky community of Independence on Thursday, September 23. For information on this event contact Eric Richardson at eric@drdan2010.com. Mongiardo spokesman Kim Geveden said the campaign is in the process of working out the details of the other two campaign events.
On March 27, Beshear endorsed Mongiardo for the Senate saying, "Now more than ever, we need strong representatives in Washington to give voice to Kentucky priorities and values. I believe Daniel Mongiardo can be that voice."
Geveden said, "We are honored to have Governor Beshear's active support of Daniel's candidacy. There is no question that the Governor's public involvement gives our campaign a strong boost. It allows us to build on the momentum gained over the last month beginning with Daniel Mongiardo's strong performance at Fancy Farm."
Since Attorney General Jack Conway's highly criticized profanity-laced tirade at Fancy Farm, Mongiardo has received the endorsement of key labor groups and two independent polls show him with a solid lead over Conway.
