Yarmuth bids farewell to Lewis

James Carroll with the Courier-Journal is reporting that U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth of Louisville took time this week to bid farewell to fellow federal lawmaker Ron Lewis, a Cecilia Republican. 

Lewis is retiring after seven terms in the U.S. House and will be replaced next year by Brett Guthrie, the Bowling Green state senator and Republican who won Kentucky’s 2nd District race this fall. 

“I just wanted to tell him goodbye and that I enjoyed serving with him,” Yarmuth, a Democrat, told Carroll. “I also told him I had met Brett Guthrie and I like him and the district would be in good hands.”
