Congressman makes pitch for Kentucky gubernatorial candidate

Associated Press  

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. — Kentucky GOP gubernatorial candidate Kelly Craft campaigned alongside U.S. Rep. James Comer on Wednesday, looking to maximize support from the influential home-state Republican after missing out on an endorsement from former President Donald Trump. Craft picked up Comer’s endorsement as soon as she entered the crowded Republican contest for governor last September, and the congressman joined Craft for campaign events Wednesday, with the state’s mid-May primary election fast approaching. Craft also vowed to remove “woke ideologies” from education — hitting on a popular theme among many Republicans in Kentucky and across the country. “If a drug trafficker, a drug dealer, anyone in the drug business causes the death of a Kentuckian, they will also receive the death penalty,” Craft said, drawing applause from the crowd.
