| Description | Senate President David Williams will seek the governor's office in 2011 with Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer as his running mate, the political heavyweight and former University of Kentucky basketball star announced Wednesday morning.
“Kentucky is adrift," Williams said in a news release. "We need strong leadership to move this state forward. We cannot afford another four years of inaction on the serious problems facing our Commonwealth.”
Williams, a Burkesville attorney and member of the state legislature since 1985, has been talking publicly about the race since July, when he said he had talked to Farmer, the Clay County native who was a member of UK's "Unforgettables" team in the 1991-92 season, about running with him.
Farmer said at a news conference in Frankfort that he and his his family made the decision to run with Williams because of "what Kentucky has done for me." |
