Cameron also has a history of legislating transgender rights, especially in sports. He joined a coalition of attorneys general that filed a brief in late January to stop the Biden administration from enacting laws that would allow biological males to compete on women's sports teams. Quarles, who typically avoids criticizing or attacking his opponents, said during Wednesday's debate that he believes transgender healthcare decisions are a parental issue. He added that it is already illegal in Kentucky for minors to consent to surgery.Cameron and Craft have put attacks against the Biden administration,"woke" ideologies, and the"radical left" at the forefront of their respective campaigns.
