MADISONVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Republican Todd P'Pool said in a news release Friday, Sarah Palin is endorsing him in his race against Democrat incumbent Jack Conway.

P'Pool, in his second term as Hopkins County attorney in western Kentucky, has also been endorsed by U.S. Senator Rand Paul, who defeated Conway last year in a bitter campaign, and was also backed by Palin.

P'Pool said he was honored by her support.

Kentucky's general election will be held Tuesday.

Conway spokeswoman Allison Haley says his campaign is confident it will get the endorsement of Kentucky voters.
