LOUISVILLE, KY — U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today on the passing of L.D. Gorman of Hazard, Kentucky:
“Elaine and I are saddened to learn of the loss of our good friend in Hazard, Kentucky, L.D. Gorman. Alongside his brother, longtime Hazard Mayor Bill Gorman, L.D. was a staple of Eastern Kentucky public life. Whether through business or public service, L.D. was always looking for a way to improve his hometown and bring jobs, investment, and energy to his corner of the Commonwealth. I was proud to partner with L.D. as he pursued conservative policy solutions to build a brighter future for his fellow Eastern Kentuckians – he loved Kentucky, revered Appalachia, and dedicated his life to Hazard. I share my condolences with the entire Gorman family and join them in mourning one of Eastern Kentucky’s fiercest advocates.”
