Kentucky is one of the few states(only state???) that have off-year gubernatorial elections. Our current governor, Andy Beshear, is a moderate Democrat, and networks have claimed that is the most popular governor in the nation. We are also a solidly red state. He was elected because our last governor(Matt Bevin) was a despised asswipe that attacked teachers, and ended Kentucky's very successful implementation of Obama's Affordable Care Act(it was used as a model for other states). The Act was put in place by Gov. Andy's father who was our, then, governor.
The teachers were protesting a bill, that Gov. Bevin tried to push through the legislature, which would've taken some funding from public schools and allocate it to private schools(including parochial institutions). Most of us supported the teachers as did Andy. He won by a close margin(5500 votes).
This election, Gov. Andy, is running against a staunch conservation, and former McConnell acolyte(also served as his counsel in the senate) and current attorney general, Daniel Cameron. He's the guy that wouldn't prosecute the cops that killed Breonna Taylor.
He also supports the state's draconian anti-abortion law that prohibits all abortions except to save the life of the mother. That's it!
Many are watching this election as it is supposed to be a bellwether for next year's national elections.
Anyway, here is one of Andy's latest campaign ads:
Here is what Megan Thee Stallion thought of Cameron during her SNL appearance a couple of years ago(Cameron is black):
