She even visited me and my late wife Rhonda on our grass-fed cattle farm several years ago. Carolyn has never been married before I have four adult children, all of whom are married to wonderful people, and three grandchildren from my blessed 31-year marriage to Rhonda who I still miss every day,” the lawmaker continued.

“Fun facts about our wedding: Of course, we served raw milk with the wedding cake and margaritas made from frozen peaches from our farm! Senator Rand Paul and Representatives Jim Jordan, Warren Davidson, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Victoria Spartz were in attendance, but the real VIPs were my three grandchildren. My oldest grandson was the ring bearer. I proposed to Carolyn on the steps of the Library of Congress, the venue for our first meet up,” he wrote.

He asked people to pray for them.

“Please pray for us as Carolyn enters the arena with me. With her support, I look forward to continuing my fight for freedom for the great people of Kentucky!” he noted.
