Rep. Bob Damron deserves to be re-elected to represent Kentucky’s 39^th House District based on his understanding and support of business issues, according to employers statewide who belong to KY Forward, the business political research center based in Frankfort. John Bird, Executive Director of KY Forward said "Representative Damron has proven through his actions in the General Assembly that his vision is to assure Kentucky’s laws and government action enhance private-sector prosperity."

Representative Damron received the group’s highest rating of more than 200 candidates who have filed to run for the General Assembly this year. Damron’s business rating for the 2000 session of the Kentucky General Assembly was a 93 out of a possible 100. The average score was 65.

Founded in 1989 by a group of prominent business CEOs, KY Forward has grown to now represent hundreds of employers and trade and professional associations across Kentucky. The group provides research on legislative districts and candidates in an effort to promote the free enterprise system in Kentucky.
