Republican State Rep. Savannah Maddox of Dry Ridge announced that United States Congressman Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) endorsed her campaign for governor. Maddox made the announcement during Saturday’s annual Fancy Farm event in western Kentucky.
“I am honored to announce that I have been endorsed by Congressman Thomas Massie,” Maddox said. “Congressman Massie is a rock-solid defender of the constitution.”
Maddox announced her bid for governor in June, and is now part of a crowded Republican primary field. The election for governor and other statewide constitutional offices is next year.
“I believe that Kentuckians, by and large, are god-fearing people who just want to live a peaceful, prosperous life in which they are free from undue interference from their government,” Maddox said in her announcement speech in June at the Little Britain Carriage House in Burlington.
