WKYT: “Governor Andy Beshear officially filed papers Monday to run for a second term as governor of Kentucky.
His family and Lieutenant Governor Jacqueline Coleman joined him Monday afternoon as he filed the candidacy papers at the Secretary of State’s Office.
“This race isn’t going be about anything national, and it’s not gonna be about some drama between candidates; it’s gonna be about who can fulfill the needs of our families and having a pretty special family myself. I think the voters of Kentucky, who know me pretty well by now, know that I will work for them tirelessly each and every day,” Governor Beshear said.
The governor’s race is growing crowded. So far, 12 Republicans have already filed paperwork with intent to run, and Democrat Geoff Young, who just recently lost the race for U.S. House of Representatives, has also announced a campaign.”
