[VIDEO] I didn't know this but yesterday was election day in Kentucky. They have their own statewide elections in off years - neither midterm nor presidential years. So last night Republicans voted in a primary an elected their Attorney General Daniel Cameron as their nominee for Kentucky Governor.
Above from a Kentucky TV station is Cameron's victory speech. You may know Cameron from his findings with regards to those police officers who were involved in the tragic death of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky during a raid back in 2020.
Also last year I heralded that three Black Republicans were running for Governor last year. In our state - Illinois - Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin who had a significant financial advantage being backed by billionaire Ken Griffin was edged out by nominee Darren Bailey in last year's Republican primary. In Michigan the former Detroit Police Chief James Craig was knocked off the ballot. In Georgia, former state Representative Vernon Jones actually withdrew from the Governor's race to instead make an unsuccessful run for U.S. Congress.
I'd be curious to see how Daniel Cameron will fare against incumbent Kentucky Governor Andy Breshear in November of this year.
Meanwhile there is currently one sitting Black Governor in America who was elected in the 2022 midterms, Democrat Wes Moore in Maryland.
