Matt-
Just wanting timing clarification. Just to note we put 12pm CST initially to ensure media arrives with enough time to be escorted to the location where the members land which is at 12:55CST.

Hi all,
We received word that the landing location we planned for has been approved! Attached here is an initial media advisory press release that our team intends to send to KY press today. Please make any edits or changes you wish t oo.
For your awareness, our team chose the address here because it is conveniently located near the location of the press conference. We will have staff on the ground to escort media to the exact spot of the media availability.

Nate,
I'm looping you in with congressional comms contacts for Secretary Duffy's visit to Indiana and Kentucky on Tuesday, May 27 - Matt and Leah (Young), Austin (Comer), Josh (Messmer).
I know we're still trying to pin down exact timing and location for a press availability and photo opps, but it probably would be good to touch base at some point today to discuss media invites, format, any approval processes, etc. Matt and Leah will follow up to coordinate that amongst the group. Thanks!
