We are racing to the finish line in Kentucky’s U.S Senate race.

In just five short weeks Kentuckians will elect a new U.S. Senator and the latest polls show the race between Democrat Jack Conway and Republican Rand Paul

is a dead heat. 

A new Courier Journal/WHAS11

Bluegrass Poll shows Conway has closed the gap.
