Frankfort, KY – It'll be Democratic Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear against Republican Senate President David Williams in the fall. Gov. Beshear had no primary opposition, but he roused a crowd of several hundred, with a litany of his accomplishments in his first three and a half years in office. He says he avoided mass layoffs, took mandated furlough days himself, sold surplus assets, like airplanes, to raise revenue and created jobs.
"Economic experts around the country have come to the same conclusion. Kentucky has weathered this recession better than most and is positioned to recover quicker the most. And we've done it the right way."
Beshear also appeared to be testing a new campaign slogan last night. He says he's "Tested. Trusted. Tough."
