Sen. Rand Paul spent time in Scottsville Tuesday as a part of his town hall tour across Kentucky.

Afterward, WBKO spoke with him about a possible match up against Lexington Mayor Jim Gray in the fall, specifically the comments about Paul being a part time senator when he was running for president.

"You know I've tried to do a good job. I show up everyday for work. I work very hard in the U.S. Senate. I have a 96% voting record, and I don't think anybody will probably be able to question whether or not I've been showing up to work and doing a good job," said Paul.

Paul continues his tour across the commonwealth Wednesday through Saturday.

Republican U.S. Representative candidate Mike Pape was also in Scottsville Tuesday in support of Rand Paul.

WBKO caught up with the Rep. Ed Whitfield District Director afterward to talk about his campaign strategy and how he plans to run the race.

"My strategy is this, I'm going to talk about what I bring to the table as the next congressman for the first district. I think I bring more to the table than any of these other candidates from my experience of already working with the people of this district on issues important to them facing the federal government for 20 years," said Pape.

Pape is in a three way republican race with former Ag Commissioner James Comer and Hickman County Attorney Jason Batts.
