The race for Attorney General has been one of the nastiest ones on record, filled with innuendo, lawsuits and cease and desist orders, reflecting two candidates at either end of the spectrum of politics, age and experience. It’s not an easy choice.
On the one hand, we have Daniel Cameron, former general counsel to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who barely qualified to run for AG because he’s only had a law license for eight years. He has little to no actual courtroom experience but has clerked for a federal judge and spent the past several years at the Frost Brown Todd law firm. On the other, we have old-school Eastern Kentucky politico Greg Stumbo, whose personal peccadilloes and backroom maneuvers are well known to voters, thanks to his stints as a legislator, House Speaker and Attorney General.
As Daniel Cameron said in his endorsement interview: “This election is about the future versus the past.”
