MATT BEVIN

We need education across the board on all fronts.

There are no taxes that are unpaid, nor were there any taxes that I was responsible for that didn't get paid.

I have nine children. It breaks my heart to think that it might be their blood is needed to redeem something, to reclaim something that we, through our apathy and our indifference, have given away.

This administration will have no tolerance for the type of brazen disregard that Planned Parenthood has shown for both the safety of women and the rule of law.

We cannot be complacent about the determination of radical Islamic extremists to destroy our freedoms.

I believe in forgiveness, I believe in second chances, and I believe we should find a way to restore the Second Amendment rights to people who are qualified and have shown themselves qualified to have those rights restored to them.

I would encourage you: be informed - knowledge is power.

I am genuinely sorry that my attendance at an event which, other than my comments, appears to have primarily involved a discussion of cockfighting, has created concern on the part of many Kentucky voters.

I am not above copying what other people are doing well.

Liberals are good at catchphrases, but there's no substance behind them.

The Medicaid expansion enacted under Obamacare is unaffordable for the taxpayers of Kentucky and should be repealed.

Is it average Joes like ourselves who go to the ballot box and truly decide who are going to be the leaders, not only of their party - of their government - at the local, at the state, at the federal level? Is that really who's still in charge?

We're in Kentucky, dude. How many variations of Bevin are there? Many. Bevins, Blevins, Belvin, Belvins, I'm sure. Or Bevin even with an -eavin or... Bivin or Bivins. And we're probably all cousins if you go back far enough.

There are quite enough sheep already - be a shepherd: be somebody who's bold and who leads.

I never went to any Tea Party meetings, although I am fiscally very much in like mind, and grateful for and appreciative of the support of anybody, no matter what group they might be part of.

Is it going to be the people of Kentucky who decides who their senator's going to be, or is it going to be Mitch McConnell saying, 'This is my protege Trey; this is who your next senator's going to be.'?

McConnell's the Senate Republican leader, but he refuses to lead on defunding Obamacare. What good is a leader like that?

There is no one in America more qualified to talk about bailouts than Mitch McConnell.

I'm unapologetic for the fact my Christian faith defines my decision-making process. I will bring those Christian principles and that mindset to Frankfort.

I don't care if it's a dollar or two dollars. If I'm governor, people should have skin in the game.

We have seen a degradation from the highest levels of authority politically in this nation, including through the department of justice, for the rule of law.

I am not, and have never been, a supporter of cockfighting or any other forms of animal cruelty.

I'm a believer in the Constitution and in the First Amendment. Not just for raising money but also for freedom of speech.

I don't think it's wise to shut down the government.

I have never been a member of a Tea Party.
