U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Rand Paul sent a letter to President Obama on Monday morning supporting Governor Steve Beshear’s request for a major disaster declaration for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. 

In the letter to the President, the Senators wrote: “Timely and serious consideration of the Governor’s disaster declaration request on your part would aid Kentucky communities and families so severely affected by this most recent disaster.”
