AUGUSTA - Standing in the gymnasium where his children graduated from high school in the late 1970s, Democrat Nick Clooney kicked off his campaign Wednesday for Northern Kentucky's 4th Congressional District seat.

"I wanted to do this here, in the town that has been home for us for 30 years, because of how much this community means to the Clooney family," Clooney said as the tiny gym at Augusta Independent School filled with supporters and students.

Clooney officially started his campaign on a positive note - and promised to maintain a positive message in his race against Boone County Republican Geoff Davis.

Davis was more low key a day after winning the GOP primary, stopping in his Erlanger campaign office to thank supporters and staff and make fund-raising calls.
