Senator Rand Paul Unveils New Office in Bowling Green, Prioritizes Veterans’ Needs
New office opens after last year’s fire destruction, with strong focus on veterans and a critical view on the upcoming elections
Just over a year since a history-packed Downtown Bowling Green building went up in flames, taking with it Senator Rand Paul’s field office, the Republican Kentuckian is back in the Corvette Capital. Announced this Thursday afternoon, the senator cut the ribbon on his shiny new state office located near the Hub Apartments off Lover’s Lane.
Remembering the aftermath of the disastrous fire, Paul stressed the significance of hosting an open house for the new digs. He reassured the community about his continued commitment to their concerns, saying, “It’s like a fresh start for us and the people of Bowling Green. If you’re a local, especially a veteran needing help with benefits, housing, or any kind of federal government-related matters, think of this as your friendly neighborhood help center.”
While the new office is designed to be a one-stop-shop for all types of federal government assistance, the Senator emphasized their primary mission – supporting veterans. He said, “The VA is often a great service but can sometimes get bogged down in bureaucracy and red tape. This leads to denied care, long waits, and access problems. Our goal is to slice through that red tape and get people the help they desperately need.”
Aside from office matters, Senator Paul didn’t hold back in sharing his views on the upcoming presidential elections and threw some serious shade at Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. “Oh boy, she’s so far left she’s eclipsing Bernie Sanders,” Paul dryly commented. The senator then went on to criticize Harris for her standpoints on fracking and automobiles.
Saving his toughest critique for the fiscal imbalance in Washington D.C, he said, “The elephant in the room is our balance between spending and revenue. Mere weeks away from the elections, my key message is this – we need balanced budgets. We need to spend only what we receive. This is crucial to secure ourselves against inflation and other fiscal issues. Sadly, both political parties have done a horrendous job at controlling spending.”
For locals hoping to get in touch, Paul’s new office is at 563 Hub Boulevard, Suite 201 in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
