Candidates TARGET Votes at Barbeque

WATCH MY KY3 NEWS @ 10 REPORT ABOVE

T.A.R.G.E.T is the annual Greene County Republican Barbeque Fundraiser Held at Phelps Grove Park. T.A.R.G.E.T stands for The Association of Republicans Getting Everyone Together. Some G.O.P. attendees said they were surprised to see a lower turnout at this year's event.

Kenny Hulshof and Sarah Steelman both addressed the crowd, but Hulshof's speech was notable for its aggressiveness at a party insider gala. While Steelman basically stuck to her issues and talked about herself, Hulshof made a clear point at offering a contrast between himself and Steelman. Usually at these types of party booster events, the candidates never mention their opponents to avoid offending party activists who don't like to witness a inter-party fight up close. But while Hulshof didn't overtly criticize Steelman, he strongly pitched why he'd be a stronger nominee than her. WATCH BELOW.

ONLY WEBB BELIEVES THEY WENT TOO FAR

Republican Mark Webb: "If I'm the Sheriff today, and those are my officers out there, I'm going to start looking for ways to take corrective action, and maybe provide training."

Republican Jim Arnott: Deputies acted "appropriately . . . did the right thing."

Republican Gene Thomlinson: "I didn't see that the officer did anything wrong in what he did. This was a situation where the officer was using his best judgment I think."

Democrat Mike Ramon: "She did what she needed to do to protect herself from her state of mind. The officers did what they needed to do to protect themselves . . . I think this is a happy ending."

Democrat Jerry McGeeHee: "I would've told my daughter to do the same thing."
