J. Marshall has not forgotten about WKU, he has multiple projects that he works on that are benefiting students. Not only does the arrive alive program help students to not drink and drive, but he is also a member of the WKU Hilltopper athletic foundation. Along with projects for WKU, J Marshall Hughes has also provided free ID kits for kids and with the organization Kids are Special. J. Marshall is the right choice for WKU, Bowling Green, Warren, and Butler counties.

If you don't think Hughes supports WKU just drive by his office. He has the WKU fly flying out in front!

J. Marshall is going to remember WKU. He is a grad and his wife is on the Board of Regents. He is a strong supporter of the University and understands it's importance to the region.

Take a look at the Young Republicans blog to read more about how the election went last night. Hughes can be a very effective candidate, and I believe WKU is the most important asset in this district. I heard that Mike Reynolds has already raised 200k in funds for this 30 day election.

I believe that Mr. Hughes is forgetting one of B.G.'s most valuable assets when he forgets to include Wesstern Ky.Univ.in the list of things he will do when he wins the election & goes to Frankfort. I hope he will remember it if & or when he gets to our state cspitol.
