On May 16, Republican voters will decide their nominee to face Democrat incumbent Governor Andy Beshear in the general election.
Twelve candidates threw their hat in the ring for the republican nomination.
Attorney General Daniel Cameron and United Nations Ambassador Kelly Craft have emerged as the frontrunners, according to a poll from emerson college.
Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles is polling in third place, former Northern Kentucky attorney Eric Deters in fourth, with Somerset Mayor Alan Keck and State Auditor Mike Harmon rounding out the top six.
The race has got nasty in recent months with Cameron and Craft running attack ads on both tv and radio. According to medium buying, candidates in the Kentucky GOP primary race have spent more than 10 million on ads — with more than $4 million coming from the Craft campaign.
Now republican voters must decide who they want to face beshear in November. The incumbent has been deemed the most popular democratic governor in the country according to morning consult, with 6 in 10 Kentucky voters approving of him.
Joining us on this episode of the Frankfort LINK is y to talk about the republican race is Rick Robinson — an author, attorney, who also worked as the legislative director in the office of former Congressman Jim Bunning.
