From The Hill:
Kentucky state Senator David Williams (R) has met with officials at the National Republican Senatorial Committee, sources confirm to The Hill, as he begins to actively consider a bid for Sen. Jim Bunning’s (R-Ken.) seat.
Williams, who was in Washington as the nation’s governors met over the weekend, sat down with NRSC officials on Friday, sources in Washington and Kentucky tell The Hill. The meeting was first reported by the website KYPolitics.org.
Williams served a term in the Kentucky state House before moving to the state Senate in 1987. He is the president of the state Senate, and he has at least some statewide experience — Williams was the GOP nominee for Senate in 1992, against Sen. Wendell Ford (D-Ken.), though he won just 36 percent.
