U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell visited Monroe County Monday, while campaigning in Southern Kentucky. During the visit, Senator McConnell spoke to constituents at Monroe County High School Commons in Tompkinsville about the importance of his leadership on behalf of Kentucky.

Over the years, Senator McConnell has secured $1.35 million toward the construction of a new water treatment facility and a 500,000-gallon central storage tank in Monroe County.

Senator McConnell also used his clout to secure a buyout for Kentucky's tobacco farmers, meaning that tobacco growers and quota holders in Monroe County will receive $19,385,310 over the length of the buyout.

The McConnell for Senate Bus Tour also visited Green, Adair, Russell, Clinton, Cumberland and Taylor counties Monday.
