Letter: Gubernatorial candidate Matt Bevin is a man you need to hear
To the Editor,
Nearly 40 years ago, as a recent college graduate I sat with my dad one day watching the news during the 1976 presidential election season. Since I 
was just beginning to tune into the emerging candidates I was interested to see one of them featured whom I had heard about, but had not yet had an opportunity to hear speak. I listened to Ronald Reagan for just a few minutes before I was deeply impressed by his wit, confidence, clarity and common sense. Turning to my Dad, I pretty enthusiastically said, “That’s the man who should be President!”
Many election cycles have come and gone since then and I have been hot and cold on different candidates, but I have never had that same reaction until the first time I heard Matt Bevin speak last year. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, Libertarian or Independent, I encourage you to put yourself in a position to listen to him engage with and speak to an audience. Don’t settle for sound bites.
Just really listen to him once and see if your instincts tell you the same thing mine do, “That’s the man who should be Governor.”
