Daniel Cameron

In the "Safer Kentucky Act," Louisville Republican legislators proposed 18 measures that would increase penalties for existing crimes, place restrictions on nonprofit bail funds, and ban "street camping" and homeless encampments in public areas.

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.

U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky had another health scare this week, fueling questions about whether he’ll be able to complete his term. Under a new state law, the Kentucky Republican Party would send Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear a list of three choices he could consider to fill a Senate vacancy.

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.

Incumbent Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear squared off against Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron on the stage at the Fancy Farm picnic Saturday. The candidates traded zingers on culture war talking points and their differing visions for Kentucky.
