"Kentucky's GOP Primary Race Heats Up Ahead of May Election"

The Republican primary in Kentucky to decide who will challenge Democratic Governor Andy Beshear in November is heating up, with three candidates vying for the nomination. Former U.N. Ambassador Kelly Craft, state Attorney General Daniel Cameron, and state Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles are the front-runners, but polling indicates no clear leader. Each candidate has emphasized their connection to rural Kentuckians and farmers, as well as their plans to address issues such as the fentanyl crisis and education reform. The winner will likely face Beshear in the general election on November 7.
