Louisville, KY – Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer and former Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson will square off this fall for the office of lieutenant governor. Abramson told a crowd at last night's Democratic Unity Rally in Frankfort, he's fired up about the fall campaign.
"It's a special moment in time. It's an opportunity where Madeline and I can join with Steve and Jane and we can add value to support their efforts for them to be successful, and to be even more so in the future. And they have been tremendously successful in the three and a half years as governor and first lady, have they not?"
Abramson is the running mate of Gov. Steve Beshear, who's seeking a second term. Their slate had no Democratic primary opposition. Farmer is running with Senate President David Williams. Their gubernatorial slate grabbed the Republican nomination last night.
