Ky. congressional matchups set for Nov. election

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Republican Andy Barr has earned the right to a rematch against Democratic U.S. Rep. Ben Chandler in this fall's general election by besting his GOP opponents in Tuesday's 6th District primary.

Barr lost a squeaker to Chandler two years ago and has been planning the sequel ever since. He swamped fellow Republicans Patrick Kelly and Curtis Kenimer on Tuesday.

In other fall congressional races, Republican incumbent Ed Whitfield will face Democrat Charles Hatchett in the 1st District. Republican incumbent Brett Guthrie will face Democrat David Lynn Williams in the 2nd. Democratic incumbent John Yarmuth will face Republican Brooks Wicker in the 3rd. Republican nominee Thomas Massie will face Democrat Bill Adkins in the 4th. And Republican incumbent Hal Rogers will face Democrat Kenneth Stepp in the 5th.
