(WKYT) – 6th District Congressional Democratic nominee Zach Dembo received an endorsement from Gov. Andy Beshear today.
Dembo held a campaign event Tuesday at The Burl in Lexington. Many guests took the stage, including Beshear.
The governor said he expects Dembo’s policies to resonate with independent voters.
“All across the country and here in the 6th District, Democrats are most worried about paying their bills, Republicans are most worried about paying their bills, independents are most worried about paying their bills, here you’ve got a candidate who is with the people, who is promising to bring prices down every day,” Beshear said. “I think its going to help with independents, I think its going to help with Republicans too. Because right now people just want a little bit of help and that’s what this guy is all about.”
Dembo will face Republican nominee, Dr. Ralph Alvarado in the November general election.
When asked about Beshear’s endorsement of Dembo, Alvarado’s campaign manager Andy Westberry said central Kentucky voters have rejected the radical agenda of Washington Democrats.
Westberry added that Dembo shares the values of extreme leftist donors.
