Senate voting will take place on election day and Kentucky Senate incumbent Rand Paul is campaigning to receive students’ votes at Murray State.

Students had the opportunity to take a photo with Paul and ask questions at the end of his campaign speech.

Nearly 200 students filled the room to hear Paul address issues of racial injustice, gun control and foreign policy.

“As far as how you achieve peace with Russia it can’t be a 'oh we let em do whatever they want' either.

Paul praised Cold War negotiations between U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Union General Secretary Mikhail Gorbechev.

He said there should be dialogue and criticized the idea of a 'no-fly zone.'
