Governor
Andy Beshear, the nation’s most popular Democratic governor, has won re-election in Kentucky.
It was a contentious gubernatorial race with attorney general Daniel Cameron, who sought to become the state’s first Black governor.
The Associated Press called the race just before 9 p.m. Tuesday.
The highly watched race put the national spotlight on Kentucky to determine insight into what could happen in the 2024 election.
"Tonight, Kentucky made a choice -- a choice not to move to right right or the left, but to move forward every single family," Beshear said during his victory speech. "A choice to reject 'Team R' or 'Team D' and to state clearly we are one Team Kentucky."
Attorney General
Republicans will hold on to Kentucky’s seat as the state’s top prosecutor. Russell Coleman was elected as the state’s next attorney general.
Voters chose to elect Coleman over his Democrat opponent, Pamela Stevenson.
Coleman has served as the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky following his appointment by former President Donald Trump in 2017.
He has 20 years of legal experience, according to his campaign website.
Secretary of State
Republican Michael Adams has been reelected as the commonwealth’s Secretary of State, overcoming a challenge by Democrat Rep. Charles Wheatley.
Adams has served as secretary of state since 2020. In his first term, Adams passed Kentucky’s first Photo ID to Vote law.
