Boswell Congressional Campaign on the Upswing

State SenatorDavid Boswell has announced that his campaign for the United States House of Representatives has picked up significant momentum over the past three weeks.

State Senator David Boswell, from Daviess County, suspended active campaign fundraising while the Kentucky General Assembly was in session. "This decision was met with enthusiasm by the voters throughout the second congressional district. “People are tired of the Dick Cheney-Karl Rove brand of politics that sells votes to the highest bidder,” said Boswell.

"Campaign contributions, personal endorsements and organizational support have been tremendous," said Boswell. “My campaign has raised over $100,000 in less than three weeks, and we have an active grassroots effort on the ground in all 21 counties of the district”. While recent polling shows Boswell with a double digit lead over his primary opponent, the candidate continues to work 24/7 to become the democratic nominee.

The Boswell for Congress campaign has received endorsements from the Kentucky AFL-CIO, the United Food and Commercial Workers, the United Steel Workers, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the Plumbers and Pipefitters and the Owensboro Council of Labor. Also, the Jefferson County Teachers Association and the National Education Association, acting upon recommendation of the Kentucky Education Association, have endorsed and contributed to my candidacy. Among Boswells many supporters are former governors Brereton Jones, Paul Patton and Julian Carroll.

Boswell has served as a citizen legislator in the Kentucky House from 1978 to 1983 and in the Kentucky State Senate since 1991. He was Kentucky's elected Commissioner of Agriculture from 1984 to 1988 and was legislative liaison for Governor Wallace Wilkinson.

Boswell is employed as Sales and Marketing Director for the Executive Inn-Rivermont Hotel & Convention Center in Owensboro.  He and his wife Sandi have two sons and five grandchildren.
