Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has announced that the U.S. Department of Defense agreed to his request to move forward on construction of the Fort Campbell Middle School. In a Fiscal Year 2019 appropriations bill, Senator McConnell secured nearly $63 million for construction of the school. The funding was later delayed. Senator McConnell consistently pressed Secretary of Defense Mark Esper on the importance of this project to families of servicemembers stationed at Ft. Campbell and urged him to restore the funding.
