Gov. Steve Beshear released the following statement regarding the gubernatorial election and the transition that follows:
“I called Matt Bevin this morning and congratulated him on being elected Kentucky’s next governor. I promised an orderly transition as I hand off the reins of state government to him. My office will work with his administration to answer any questions and provide all information necessary to assure consistent delivery of all services. I have assigned Mary Lassiter, secretary of the governor’s executive cabinet, and Shannon Tivitt, deputy chief of staff, as points of contact for the incoming administration.”
See Bevins wins – and it’s not even close; only two Democrats barely survive a sweep on NKyTribune.
