Senator Rand Paul visited Russellville Monday afternoon, to continue his campaign.

Rand Paul is running for re-election in the U.S. Senate race against Lexington Mayor, Jim Gray. Rand has a few things that he would change if re-elected. He says the government should be forced to spend only what comes in.

"That's what every American has to do in your own family budget. I think we should do the same for the federal budget. We should balance our budget every year, that would go a long way towards reforming government."

Despite all of the concerns about Donald Trump as a Presidential nominee, Rand Paul says he's seen a lot more people supporting him, than you would imagine.

"Trump's for lower taxes, he said he's for less regulation on coal. And he also said he would appoint conservative justices to the Supreme Court."

A big concern in Washington is that the party's are not working together. But Rand says he believes there is more compromises made than what meets the eye.

"Some of it is we have to re-exert the strength of Congress, the power of the purse and the funding of government should be coming from Congress and we shouldn't let the President do this on his own."

Rand says he is concerned about police and community relations, but says the shootings that have been making headlines don't speak for all police officers.

"I think the vast majority of them are trying to do a good job and help communities be safe. Communities prosper when there's not crime, when people can do their business in a safe fashion."

Rand Paul will be in Kenton County on Wednesday to continue his campaign trail.
