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.
The next governor of our commonwealth, Andy Beshear, is about to take the stage.
But I wanted to reach out to you quickly before he does. Tonight, with your help, we accomplished big things. We took back our commonwealth from the special interests who have been pushing an anti-worker, anti-public education agenda.
We proved that with hard work, a professional state Democratic Party, and a huge field program, Democrats can WIN in Kentucky. And we’re coming for Senator McConnell next.
Huge congratulations to alum Jacqueline Coleman on her victory!
Please join us in congratulating her and thanking her for stepping up and putting her name on the ballot! She is the first Emerge KY alum to win statewide.
We are so proud of her campaign. A public school educator and Emerge alum, there is no doubt she is ready to serve the Commonwealth.
EDITOR'S NOTE: In his victory speech tonight, Gov.-elect Andy Beshear thanked "our union families that helped make this election happen."
Thank you, Kentucky! This was a HUGE win for our teachers, first responders, social workers and every family whose bills keep going up while wages stay the same.
