Press Releases

LOUISVILLE, KY - U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today regarding the passing of Don Childers:

"I'm deeply saddened by the loss of my longtime friend, Don Childers. Don and I connected from the very beginning over our shared love of Kentucky, and through the years we teamed up on countless projects to see what we could do for our state's Appalachian communities. He was a constant advocate for his fellow Eastern Kentuckians and always looked for ways to bring jobs, investment, and new opportunities to his hometown. Don leaves a tremendous impact on the Commonwealth, and I will continue to remember this impressive businessman, honored veteran, and dedicated family man fondly. Elaine and I send our condolences to the entire Childers family and all those who mourn his loss."
