Rand Paul announced Phyllis Sparks as the campaign’s county chair for Boone County.

Paul is running against Jim Gray, mayor of Lexington, for United States Senate.

Phyllis is a lifelong resident of Boone County.

She and her husband have owned Sparks Contractors, Inc., a heavy industrial crane and rigging company, for 30 years.

Phyllis is the Vice Chair of the Boone County Republican Party, and past president and founding member of the Kentucky branch of the International Dyslexia Association. She is an advocate for students with learning disabilities, and member of Florence Baptist Church.

“I am honored to serve as the county chair for Senator Rand Paul’s reelection campaign. His commonsense approach to the issues facing our state and nation while protecting our liberties are precisely why I stand with Rand,” Sparks said.
