ANDY BESHEAR
Governor of Kentucky
Andy Beshear has done something remarkable: he’s won Kentucky twice as a Democrat and taught his party how to win back working-class voters who felt abandoned. His secret isn’t complicated: show up, tell the truth, and actually deliver.
Under Beshear’s leadership, Kentucky has seen record economic investment—billions in new manufacturing jobs, expanded healthcare access, and infrastructure improvements that are restoring hope to communities that believed government had forgotten them. He vetoed extreme legislation, protected voting rights, and expanded Medicaid, all while maintaining approval ratings that make him one of America’s most popular governors.
Before the governor’s mansion, Beshear cut his teeth as a consumer protection lawyer fighting for kids, then served as Attorney General, taking on pharmaceutical companies fueling the opioid crisis. He’s proof that meeting people where they are – with honesty, competence, and genuine care – can overcome any partisan divide.
