Kentucky Governor's Race

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is pushing back against Republican efforts to cast him as an advocate of gender reassignment surgery for minors. The Democratic governor says in a new ad that his detractors have misrepresented his position. Beshear says he has always opposed such surgeries for minors. He points to his Christian faith and support for parental rights to explain why he vetoed a measure that banned gender-affirming care for children in the state. Beshear is being challenged by Republican Daniel Cameron in November. The campaign offers an early test of the political potency of Republican messaging on transgender issues.

Kentucky’s Republican nominee for governor has one month to announce a running mate. Attorney General Daniel Cameron has had more time to ponder a lieutenant governor due to a change in state law.

Kentucky Attorney General and Republican gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron made a handful of campaign stops in far western Kentucky Friday, including one in Paducah.

While candidates are gearing up for next week’s primary election in Kentucky, some officials are not expecting many voters to cast ballots.

Three of the 12 candidates vying for the Republican nomination underscored their anti-abortion and pro-gun stances on Tuesday, while diverging in their positions on specific legislative proposals.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Kelly Craft made sweeping, explicit anti-transgender remarks at a virtual town hall on Monday, escalating her transphobic rhetoric in the lead-up to the primary election.

Ethics expert says GOP hopeful would ‘absolutely’ have a conflict of interest. It’s ‘for the people to decide’ if there’s a problem, says a former Kentucky governor.
