State of Play:
Sen. Jim Bunning, R, the cantankerous Hall-of-Fame pitcher, finally decided to call it quits last year after months of wrestling with his party’s leadership. On the Republican side, Rand Paul, R, an eye doctor and son of Republican Rep. Ron Paul, Tex., is threatening to carry on Bunning’s legacy and upend the GOP establishment. Polls currently favor him over Secretary of State Trey Grayson, a protege of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. Meanwhile, Attorney General Jack Conway and Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo are battling for the Democratic nomination.
Primary election: May 18
