The deadline has passed for candidates to get into Kentucky’s race for governor this year. Now voters have a clear picture of who’s trying to topple the incumbent, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear.
The list includes 12 Republican candidates, ranging from current statewide officials like Attorney General Daniel Cameron and Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles, to former United Nations Ambassador Kelly Craft. A handful of minor candidates have also tossed their hats in the ring, making for a long ballot voters will have to sift through in the primary election on May 16.
