Kentucky Senator Rand Paul may have had his presidential run cut short in a crowded republican field earlier this year, but his campaign for senate reelection is still churning, and his next stop is Eastern.

Students for Rand, a student-based organization dedicated to supporting and promoting Paul, will host a town hall for the senator Monday, October 3 at 4 p.m. in Powell Underground. The event will have Paul discussing issues he sees as important to Kentuckians, as well as a Q&A segment.
