{Kentucky}...On August 25th, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush will headline a private fundraiser for Republican gubernatorial candidate David Williams and his running mate, Richie Farmer, in Louisville. U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell will also attend the event, which will cost $250 to $1,000 a person. State Republican Party Chairman Steve Robertson says Bush's arrival in Kentucky shows national GOP leaders are interested in the governor's race. The Williams campaign says Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, who had been considered a prospective Republican candidate for president earlier in the year, has been in Kentucky and helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in June. Williams is challenging Democratic Governor Steve Beshear and Independent candidate Gatewood Galbraith in the November 8th election.
