Possible confusion of two different individuals[edit]
An IP editor made a comment on my userpage today stating that the Donnie Gedling who ran in 1994 was not the same individual as the subject of this article, but rather was his son. Based on their comments, it seems the father and son went by different nicknames, and the 1994 candidate was Donald Joseph "Joey" Gedling, rather than Donald Joseph "Donnie" Gedling. One source for the 1994 run, the Our Campaigns website, ascribes all of the runs, including the 1994 one, to the same candidate; the KY elections site does include the "Joey" nickname for the 1994 candidate.
