Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul plans to talk about policy and raise campaign cash during a weekend stop in northern Kentucky.

The Kentucky Enquirer reports that Paul will discuss health care and the federal deficit during a town hall meeting in Hebron on Saturday. His campaign manager, David Adams, says Paul will try to make his case for a free-market approach to a health care overhaul.

Paul will also look to raise some campaign money. The newspaper reports that a breakfast is planned for campaign donors, and a luncheon fundraiser will follow the town hall meeting.

Paul is an ophthalmologist from Bowling Green. He is facing Secretary of State Trey Grayson and western Kentucky businessman Bill Johnson in next year's primary for the Republican Senate nomination.
