Cameron has pegged himself as"THE law enforcement candidate," emphasizing his endorsement from over 100 law enforcement officers in Kentucky and blasting Beshear for his actions toward police in a six-figure ad released in late April. The former ambassador's strategies have pushed her to the front of the race after originally entering the fray as a lesser-known candidate throughout Kentucky.
Craft received an endorsement from Rep. James Comer and Sen. Ted Cruz . Last week, Cruz stumped for Craft's campaign, saying she is the candidate that will bring in"a new generation of leadership" and emphasizing her work in international affairs and trade.Ryan Quarles, the state's agriculture commissioner, is holding up the tail end of the top three candidates with 15% of the vote.
