Courier-Journal: “Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron filed paperwork Wednesday to launch a run for governor in 2023, ending weeks of speculation that he would join the field of prospective Republican candidates.
Cameron filed a statement of spending intent form Wednesday morning with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance, indicating such spending would be as a gubernatorial candidate.
Two hours after The Courier Journal broke the news of his filing, Cameron made the formal announcement of his candidacy in an email and video — contrasting himself with the current office holder, Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear.
“I’ve decided to run for governor because Kentucky needs a leader who reflects the values of the men, women and children of all 120 counties,” Cameron said. “That’s not our current governor.””
