On Saturday, U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell stopped by the Boyle County Fairgrounds in Danville.

McConnell also recognized the importance of Boyle County's historic buildings and unique culture and the work he has done to support the preservation of that heritage, including securing $150,000 in historic preservation funds for McDowell House and $250,000 for the Brinton House near Perryville Battlefield.

McConnell's bus tour, which kicked off last Monday, will make 62 stops and travel 4,000 miles before it wraps up. McConnell also traveled to Fayette, Clark, Estill, Madison, Garrard and Casey counties on Saturday.

State Rep. Mike Harmon joined McConnell in Danville and touted McConnell's leadership in the Senate and how it benefits the people of Kentucky.

"Sen. McConnell has been extremely responsive to the constituents in my district," Harmon said. "When I call, he and his team swing into action on behalf of the people of Kentucky."

Harmon also told that crowd that it was McConnell who has protected America from the liberal agenda.

"We need Sen. McConnell in Washington fighting for us, and I'm proud to support him," Harmon said.
