Alison Lundergan Grimes (standing) talking to Graves County officials last Wednesday.
Alison Lundergan Grimes learned politics with her phonics. The middle child in a family of five girls remembers reading voter lists as a small child. Her father, Jerry Lundergan, is a former Lexington House representative. Her mother is a state Democratic Committee member.
We met Grimes for the first time on a campaign swing through West Kentucky. Grimes is running against former Bowling Green mayor Elaine Walker to be the Democratic nominee for the office of Kentucky Secretary of State. Whoever wins the nomination will face either Hilda Legg of Somerset or Bill Johnson of Todd County.
