Attorney General Daniel Cameron appeared in Northern Kentucky Thursday for a Meet and Greet to appeal to Republican voters why he should win the nomination and face Democratic incumbent Andy Beshear in the general election.
Cameron ran through numerous campaign talking points, such as his fight as attorney general against the opioid and fentanyl scourge in the Commonwealth, his fight against Gov. Beshear over the COVID-19 shutdowns, and concern that top Democrats in Washington and Kentucky are causing friction with the values of average Kentuckians.
The meet and greet was Hosted by Kenton County Prosecutor Rob Sanders, Northern Kentucky Attorney Chris Wiest, and former state House Rep. Addia Wuchner — now the Executive Director of Kentucky Right to Life — at Smoke Justis in Covington.
Cameron's visit comes roughly 10 days after his top challenger in the GOP primary, Kelly Craft, appeared in Newport. In the latest poll put out by Fox 56 and Emerson College, Craft gained on Cameron and now sits just six points behind him at 24% to Cameron's 30% ahead of the May 16 primary.
Both Republican visits highlight the region's significance in winning the governor's election, and it's something that former Republican Gov. Matt Bevin perhaps took for granted, according to Wiest.
