Republican candidate for attorney general Daniel Cameron will remain on the ballot, after a Jefferson County judge confirmed he meets the eligibility requirements.
The judge ruled Cameron has practiced law for the required eight years under the state constitution.
A retired leader of a labor union supporting Democrat Greg Stumbo brought a lawsuit asserting some of Cameron’s work experience did not apply.
Cameron issued a statement saying, “I’m not surprised we won but I’m thrilled to put this frivolous lawsuit behind us.” He continues, “We are leading in the polls and leading in fundraising and we’ve got Stumbo on the ropes, so who knows what other nonsense he’ll try. But we are ready for all his tricks.”
