Thinkstock

It's the last edition of Kentucky Politics Distilled before Kentuckians go to the polls on Nov. 5.

In this week's episode: the major party candidates for governor participated in two debates, and now Gov. Matt Bevin and Attorney General Andy Beshear are crisscrossing the state making their final pitches to voters.

Also, the Kentucky Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit against a Lexington T-shirt maker that refused to create shirts for a gay pride festival.

Jonese Franklin from member station WFPL talked to capitol reporter Ryland Barton for this week’s edition of Kentucky Politics Distilled.
