The Republican presidential candidate is scheduled to have seven events across the state on Monday and Tuesday in addition to three book signings. He talked to a crowd of supporters at a Lexington bookstore on Monday morning about his faith in God, calling it "a daily process to become more Christ-like." He said he supported Republican Gov.-elect Matt Bevin's plan to dismantle Kentucky's health insurance exchange and scale back the eligibility requirements for its Medicaid program.
Paul is running for president and re-election to his U.S. Senate seat at the same time. He plans to hold two town hall-style events about coal in Kentucky on Tuesday.
