It was a night of victories for the candidates on the Republican ballot running for state offices in Kentucky—except for in the race for governor, where incumbent Democrat Andy Beshear won his bid for re-election.
Speaking with supporters, Governor Beshear said he will be the governor for everyone, regardless of political party or who someone voted for. He says there’s more than unites Kentuckians than divides them, and this victory proves that.
Challenger Daniel Cameron says he was proud of the race he ran, and he will continue to serve the people of Kentucky as much as he can, saying everyone wants the same thing—a better Commonwealth.
Secretary of State Michael Adams will serve another term in that office, after defeating Democrat challenger Charles Wheatley, and he says he will continue to strive for excellence in that office, believing the same can be achieved in all areas of the state.
In the race for Attorney General—the seat currently held by Daniel Cameron—Russell Coleman will take that office, defeating Democrat Pamela Stevenson. Coleman says he will work to bring safety and peace of mind to all Kentuckians.
One time Treasurer Allison Ball will gain a new title, after she won her bid for State Auditor against challenger Kimberly Reeder and she says she’s ready to hit the ground running.
Republican Johnathan Shell will be the next Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner, defeating Democrat Sierra Enlow. He says he will work closely with the legislature to make sure farmers have the resources they need to succeed.
Mark Metcalfe will be the next State Treasurer after defeating Michael Bowman, and he thanked the people for their support.
Based on the unofficial results, Cameron easily won in Christian, Todd and Trigg Counties, and that held true for the other Republican candidates running for state offices as well. You can view state elections results on the Kentucky Secretary of State’s website.
