FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY — The following is a statement from Republican Party of Kentucky (RPK) Chairman Robert Benvenuti regarding the death of former longtime RPK Chairman Bob Gable.
“I am heartbroken to learn of the passing of Bob Gable and want to extend my deepest condolences to the entire Gable family. Words cannot fully convey the debt of gratitude Kentucky Republicans owe to Bob nor the profound impact he had on our Commonwealth.
“When Bob first took the helm of our state party in 1986, the electoral challenges Republicans faced in Kentucky were daunting. At that time, Republicans held only one statewide office and were in the extreme minority in the General Assembly. Yet Bob’s unwavering commitment to our party guided us as we began laying the groundwork to reshape Kentucky's political landscape.
“Today, thanks to Bob’s efforts, Republicans hold supermajorities in the General Assembly, and it's now the Democrats who hold only one statewide office. None of this would have been possible without Bob Gable’s leadership, dedication, and love for Kentucky. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy will continue to inspire us as we build on the foundation he helped to create.”
