2023 election

During his campaign for governor, Cameron has repeatedly said he supports Kentucky’s near-total “trigger” ban on abortion as it currently stands.

Makenze Cameron said her husband, Kentucky’s one-term Republican attorney general, talked to the legislature’s GOP leaders before proposing his own plan which calls for a statewide base starting pay rate for new teachers at $41,500. It does not include raises for any current teachers.

It’s a change in strategy for the incumbent, and many Democratic politicians in the South, who have avoided going on the offensive over abortion rights.

During a news conference in Louisville, the Republican Attorney General criticized the economic records of incumbent Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear and President Joe Biden.

Cameron’s new education plan centers on ‘learning loss’ and increased truancy, which he blamed on Beshear’s decision to move schools to remote learning early on in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear and Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron have agreed to participate in four gubernatorial debates together as the race for Kentucky’s next governor heats up.

Among the poll’s 737 respondents, 49% said they would vote for Beshear and 41% support Cameron. An additional 10% said they are “not sure” whom to vote for.

A poll released on Monday suggests Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear remains the most popular Democratic governor in the country, despite leading a red state.The survey shows the incumbent with support from roughly half of the state’s Republicans, four months out from election day.

The poll also indicated Beshear’s approval rating is 63% across the board with 38% of Republican voters and 60% of Independent voters polled approving of his performance. Among the 800 voters polled, just 35% disapprove of the job Beshear’s doing in office.

The newly formed Cameron-Mills ticket is making stops across Kentucky this week introducing themselves as the two Republicans who can re-claim the governor’s mansion.Attorney General Daniel Cameron says he picked State Senator Robby Mills of Henderson to be his running mate because he’s a man of faith, a family man, and brings valuable legislative experience to the ticket.
