Constituents of the 2nd Congressional District of Kentucky filled Pettus Auditorium at St. Catharine College (SCC) on Thursday to get a word with Representative Brett Guthrie.

The congressman’s listening session came on the heels of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, which Guthrie referred to often.
Guthrie discussed a flatter tax rate, Medicare, bringing jobs back to the United States, college tuition, federal funding for schools and care for the mentally ill, among other topics.

In a room full of people that have helped him along the way, he admits he was once ‘a lost little pup.’

Christopher Michael Carey, now a practicing attorney in Bowling Green and the 14th  National Guard Judge Advocate General officer in the state, is lost no more.
Carey came home to Washington County on Friday for his swearing-in ceremony to become part of the JAG corps.
His family is here, he said. And so are many important people that helped him along the way.
