LEXINGTON, Ky. − Sen. Bunning represented Kentucky in the U.S. Congress for 24 consecutive years between 1987 and 2010, during which time he established a reputation as a conservative stalwart who championed a pro-life, pro-business agenda and fought to reduce the size and scope of government.

“Now more than ever, we need a state auditor who’s honest and will serve as an independent, impartial watchdog of the taxpayers’ money," Sen. Bunning said. “Democrats regulating other Democrats in Frankfort has never worked and never will, and that’s why fellow conservative John Kemper is the right choice at the right time for Kentucky.”
