In this short paper, I will be discussing the Kentucky political figure, currently a sitting senator and former governor Julian Carroll. First I will discuss his background which will include his early life up to his start in politics. Second I will discuss how he started his political career and then move into talking about his how he and his administration changed Kentucky. Lastly I will discuss his current political status and how I think he made differences in Kentucky.
First, I will discuss his background, which started when he was born on April 16, 1931 in McCracken County Kentucky. His parents were Elvie B. and Eva Heady Carroll. His father was a farmer and a tractor implement salesman, he also owned a garage. In 1937, the family moved to Heath Kentucky he attended Heath high school and was later elected student body president. After graduating high school Senator Carroll attended Paducah Junior College. In 1951, he and his girlfriend Charlann Harting were married and started their family of what would eventually be four children. One year later he graduated from Paducah Junior College with an associate of arts degree.
The Carroll family then packed up and moved to Lexington Kentucky, where he worked at the Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation office. In 1954, he earned a bachelor’s of arts in political science degree from the University of Kentucky. He then would attend the University of Kentucky’s school of law where he earned his law degree in 1956. For the next five years he practice law as a military lawyer at Carswell Air Force Base in Texas, as well as serving with the Paducah law firm of Reed, Scent, Reed, and Walton before beginning his political career in 1961.
Next, I will discuss how he sta...

He has been out of his office a great deal lately which could be a result of the recent death of his son a few weeks ago. In the event he does contact me I will incorporate his responses into this paper.

This paper will be focusing on Robert Casey better known as “Bob” Casey the Senator from Pennsylvania. Casey was born and raised on April 13, 1960, in Scranton Pennsylvania. Casey; “graduated from The College of the Holy Cross in 1982 and spent the following year teaching fifth grade and coaching eighth-grade basketball in inner city Philadelphia for the Jesuit Volunteer Corps”. (Senate.gov) Later on, he received his law degree from Catholic University in 1988. He married to his wife Teresa and has 4 children. In 2002 Casey wanted to follow his father into running for governor of Pennsylvania, however, he was defeated, later becoming the “treasurer” in the elections of 2004.

Later in 2012, he was re-elected becoming the first Democrat Senator into serving a full term and into being re-elected as a Pennsylvania Senator. Casey has become and followed the step of his father who was also a governor.
