BOONE COUNTY – Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul has endorsed Matt Dedden of Burlington for Boone County Commissioner District 1.

“Government at all levels needs people who will spend money wisely, who will recognize that private enterprise creates jobs and who will realize that government can help most by getting out of the way. Matt Dedden has shown that he can successfully manage a business. I think he will bring that same management skill to government,” Paul said in a statement.

Dedden faces Steve Smith of Hebron and Lonnie Fields of Florence in the May 18 GOP primary. Incumbent Cathy Flaig is running for judge-executive and is not seeking re-election.

Paul faces Secretary of State Trey Grayson of Boone County in the primary.
