The long-awaited launch of the Kentucky Club For Growth comes today with a press release from executive director Brian Richmond:
"The Kentucky Club for Growth will find, support and endorse candidates for elected office who are committed to free-market principles, lowering taxes, reducing spending and decreasing the size of government. Additionally, we will hold Frankfort accountable by monitoring legislation and providing scorecards to our members and the press after each legislative session."
Richmond says too many in the Republican party have "abandoned the principles that guided Ronald Reagan."
