Historic win. Looks like GOP lost governor, but swept everything else in Kentucky.
Via Herald-Leader:
Kentucky voters on Tuesday picked as their next attorney general Daniel Cameron, a young protégé of U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell who pledged his unwavering support for the conservative policies of Gov. Matt Bevin, the GOP-led General Assembly and President Donald Trump, who endorsed him.
Cameron, a 33-year-old native of Hardin County, campaigned on his opposition to abortion, gun control and illegal immigration.
But he also vowed to break with the practice of outgoing Democratic Attorney General Andy Beshear, who sometimes challenged Bevin and the legislature in court and refused to defend certain laws — notably, abortion restrictions — when he believed they were unconstitutional. The role of the attorney general is to serve as Kentucky’s attorney, not to take sides, Cameron said.
