The latest campaign ad by U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell featured some faces and places familiar to Owensboro residents.
The TV ad, which began airing statewide on Saturday, touts McConnell’s efforts to find federal dollars for the H.L. Neblett Community Center in Owensboro.
In 2006, the 70-year-old home to the Neblett Center on West Fifth Street was demolished following the construction of the new center, which was built with the help of a $3 million federal appropriation secured by McConnell.
The 30-second spot features Mike Walker, who chairs the Neblett Center board and the local NAACP chapter, Josephine Rowan, a neighbor to the center, and Wesley Acton, the former Neblett Center board chairman.
