“Massie’s a drumbeater,” said Campbell County voter Steven Groh. “Wanting to make politics into sides.” 

Groh traveled from his nearby home to Falmouth to listen to Democrat Matt Lehman speak in August at Howard’s Place Restaurant. Tucked in the back of the restaurant on Route 27, Lehman talked to a handful of voters about his campaign against U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie. 

“For 10 years, our current representative has ranked at the bottom of effective legislators, barely getting a bill out of committee,” Lehman said, detailing Massie’s voting record against emergency disaster aid, such as in 2017 for Hurricane Harvey and in 2013 for Superstorm Sandy.

Lehman’s visit to Falmouth coincided with the flooding in Eastern Kentucky, which also was the anniversary of the Falmouth flood in 1997. Massie did, however, request federal funding for the flooding in Eastern Kentucky.
