Kentucky Republicans hoping to unseat Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear skewered him Wednesday for rejecting a records request concerning correspondence about COVID school closures.
Former U.N. Ambassador Kelly Craft is vowing a ‘full court press’ to combat the Chinese Communist Party's contributions to the fentanyl crisis plaguing the U.S. should she be elected as the next governor of Kentucky.that Beshear improperly rejected a request for records concerning school closures during the COVID pandemic, and said that decision shows why Beshear should be voted out of office this year.
"Andy Beshear has proven time and again that he's not up to the task of leading our commonwealth," the statement said, echoing criticism Craft has dealt Beshear over his handling of the drug crisis plaguing Kentucky. "As governor, I’ll focus on keeping our schools open and correcting the generational loss because of Andy Beshear’s exaggerated lockdown," he added.
The denied records request was made by Kentucky GOP spokesman Sean Southard on Dec. 2, 2022. The named officials in the request include Beshear, as well as current and former members of his administration, Kentucky Democratic Party Executive Director Sebastian Kitchen, state lawmakers and Kentucky Education Association President Eddie Campbell.
Cameron's finding, however, ruled that the Kentucky GOP's request didn't include"any and all records," but rather correspondence with a particular subject matter in a particular time frame.
