National and state leaders announced for RPK convention

Prominent Republicans from mutliple levels of government are expected in Bowling Green on Saturday for the Republican Party of Kentucky's [RPK] annual convention, with the guest list topped by U.S. Senator Jim Bunning (R-Southgate) and U.S. Reps Geoff Davis (R-Hebron) and Hal Rogers (R-Somerset).

The Saturday convention will begin at 1pm at the Sloan Convention Center in Bowling Green. Other guests confirming their attendance at the event include state Senate President David Williams, Secretary of State Trey Grayson, and state Senator Brett Guthrie, the Republican nominee in the race for Kentucky's open 2nd Congressional District seat.

Among other business, delegates to the state party convention will select the party's at-large delegates to the national convention on Saturday.

Following the state convention, Kentucky's Young Republicans will also gather for their annual convention in the same location in Bowling Green. That meeting is expected to commence one hour after the state convention is completed.
