Bowling Green eye doctor Rand Paul says he will seek the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Jim Bunning. Paul officially declared his candidacy Wednesday, ending months of speculation.
Paul has been considering running for weeks, but he was reluctant to run against the 77-year-old Bunning, who announced his retirement last week.
Paul is the son of Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who ran a failed bid for the Republican nomination for the presidency last year.
