First, we must ensure the safety of our citizens as the destruction of chemical weapons begins at the Blue Grass Army Depot. I believe my experience as a career Army Officer will be a great asset to our residents providing information and resolving issues that will arise during this process.

Second, we must be proactive in improving the quality of life for the people of the Fourth District while maintaining financial integrity and growing our infrastructure.

Finally, we must be diligent in our efforts to provide every citizen a safe, drug free community to live and raise our children and grandchildren.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Republican who will lead an investigation of the 2012 attacks on U.S. diplomatic quarters in Benghazi was known for courtroom theatrics in his time as a prosecutor, portending dramatic hearings on an issue that already has strained partisan civility in Washington.

Republicans hope to gain political traction before congressional elections in November by accusing the White House of muddying the facts to protect President Barack Obama after the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans were killed in the attacks by Islamic militants.

Democrats have not said whether they will take any seats on the Republican-majority special committee, saying the new probe - following several other congressional investigations on Benghazi - is also aimed at damaging former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's chances if she runs for president in 2016.

Representative Trey Gowdy, the 49-year-old from South Carolina chosen by House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner to chair the panel, is a Christian conservative elected to Congress in 2010 on the wave of the Tea Party movement.

Gowdy came with a reputation for tenacity, and dug into various probes of the Obama administration. He is outspokenly critical of its handling of the Benghazi matter.

In a briefing last year, Washington reporters were given a flavour of what Gowdy's leadership of the hearings might be like. He pointedly asked, "Can you tell me why Chris Stevens was in Benghazi the night that he was killed?" and "Does it bother you whether or not you know why Chris Stevens was in Benghazi?"
