Edelen on Election

By KPR

Frankfort, KY – Lexington Democrat Adam Edelen had no primary opposition last night in his bid for Kentucky State Auditor. Edelen, a former chief of staff to Gov. Steve Beshear, says he wants to run the office just like incumbent Auditor Crit Luallen, who's term-limited.

"For 35 years, Crit Luallen has represented the gold standard in public service in Kentucky. For the last seven and a half years, she has executed this office with total competence, total integrity."

Edelen faces John Kemper of Lexington in the fall. Kemper grabbed the Republican nomination last night by defeating Representative Addia Wuchner of Florence.
