Supporters see bright future for senator By LISA SIMPSON STRANGEGlasgow Daily Times Sen. David Williams, R-Burkesville, in his comments to the group, said he had heard about the rule of six connections (six degrees of separation) to connect one person with any other in the world. He told the crowd, “With David Givens, you’re one connection away from knowing anybody in the state of Kentucky that you need to know. David Givens is the future of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He is a great possibility for our state.”
After the ceremony, Williams said he was impressed with the turnout and with Givens himself. “It’s just such a tremendous crowd and people from all the various counties (are) represented here,” he said. “There’s a lot of enthusiasm about David. He’s a fresh face in Frankfort. He’s very intelligent obviously and has strong connections in all the counties after this race and with Western Kentucky University, which is important in this area especially to Glasgow.” Givens thanked all of his supporters and told the gathering that he hoped to serve as well as all of them seemed to think he could. “I am honored to have the opportunity to serve,” he said. “It’s humbling and the size of the crowd and the reception and the support is very reflective of what we saw throughout the campaign. There’s so many good people out there and that was the highlight of campaigning and I do think that’s going to be the highlight of serving – the relationship with good people.” Asked about the large turnout in his honor, Givens said it was touching. “To look out over that crowd and see new friends and old friends and to have them all together in one place and to have that flash of those stories come to you as you see these people and think about the connections you’ve made,” he said. “That was the other interesting thing we found throughout the campaign – what we call threads – because you would find out you’re a lot closer to people than you realize once you started connecting with them and once you have that connection with someone you feel required to go and do the best for them that you can do.”
