Frankfort, KY — The following is a statement from Kentucky Democratic Party chair Ben Self on the Beshear/Coleman victory:
Congratulations to Governor-elect Andy Beshear and Lieutenant Governor-elect Jacqueline Coleman on their hard-fought victory. Tonight voters sent a clear message: they’re ready to turn the page on four years of failed, divisive Republican governance and want to move forward with leadership that will deliver real solutions for all Kentuckians.
Tonight’s results should serve as a wake-up call to members of the General Assembly and Senator McConnell heading into 2020. Kentuckians want leaders who fight for public education, good paying jobs and access to affordable healthcare.
