Trump ambassador Kelly Craft joins Kentucky governor’s race
Associated PressFRANKFORT, Ky. — Former United Nations Ambassador Kelly Craft launched her long-anticipated campaign for Kentucky governor Wednesday, saying the state’s “best days are ahead of us” as she joined a crowded lineup of Republicans competing to challenge Democratic Gov. Beshear’s campaign portrayed Craft as “out-of-touch” with Kentucky’s voters while touting the governor’s economic stewardship and handling of tornado and flood disasters. “This movement is for all of us who still believe that we can lead in education, that government doesn’t get a seat at our kitchen table and that our kids should grow up in safe neighborhoods.” For more than a year, political insiders from both major parties in Kentucky had wondered if, or when, Craft would enter the hotly contested GOP primary for governor. “We welcome Kelly Craft to both Kentucky and to the governor’s race,” Beshear campaign strategist Eric Hyers said in a statement.
