Kentucky Senator Rand Paul continues his campaign tour of western Kentucky less than four weeks before Election Day.

He spoke with local pastors at Zion Baptist Church in Henderson on Wednesday morning. Paul is running for re-election against Lexington Mayor Jim Gray.

Pastors expected to hear from the senator about pro-life and other family values issues.

“senators have a lot of influence in our government,” said Pastor Mark Galloway. “Obviously they have a lot of direction. Someone like Senator Paul can make a huge difference beyond just what the presidential election has turned out to be.”

Senator Paul also stopped in Morganfield, Madisonville, and Powderly, where he was expected to discuss the state of the coal industry.
