Congressman has raised more than $660,000 going into election year

(Frankfort, KY) Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3), today, filed paperwork with the Secretary of State’s office, officially kicking off his bid to continue representing Louisville in the US House of Representatives.

“These past three years, I have had the great honor of taking Louisville’s fight to Congress, and I hope to keep fighting to bring our community good jobs, affordable health care, and better educational opportunities,” Congressman Yarmuth said. “I look forward to continuing to work with my partners here at home to build a more secure nation and a thriving Louisville that we can continue to be proud of.”

Last week, House Minority Leader John Boehner said he was "still trying to find the first American to talk to who's in favor of the public option, other than a Member of Congress or the Administration."

Congressman John Yarmuth (D-KY) responded by inviting Minority Leader Boehner to meet one of the tens of thousands of Louisvillians who support a public health insurance option in order to ensure all Americans always have access to high-quality, affordable health care.

Yarmuth takes health care role

Last week Yarmuth spoke to national reporters about health care costs and small businesses.

Rep. John Yarmuth, D-3rd District, does not yet have a Republican opponent for 2010.

But the lawmaker is raising money for the next contest anyway.

Yarmuth's campaign says he took in $284,039 for the second quarter and now has $361,252 in cash on hand.

Settled firmly into his second term in Congress, John Yarmuth talks health care, energy, and how Obama might actually save the planet
