Senator Jim Bunning

Senator Jim Bunning was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1998, winning by a mere 6,766 votes. In 2004 he won by a margin almost 3 ½ times larger than his victory in 1998, and he also won 73 of Kentucky’s 120 counties and secured 873,507 votes - the most votes ever for a U.S. Senate candidate from Kentucky.

As a youngster in Northern Kentucky, Bunning fell in love with baseball and even then he displayed a competitive spirit and a willingness to work hard. That combination carried him on to a highly successful 17-year career as a Major League Baseball player after his graduation from Xavier University with an Economics degree.

In our interview with Senator Bunning, we discuss the progress of Medicare Part D, Senator McCain’s healthcare proposal, and the future of American healthcare.
