Kentucky attorney general

City:Louisville

Running mate:Jacqueline Coleman

Im proud to be the only candidate who selected an active educator as my running mate. As an educator, mentor and coach, Jacqueline Coleman has spent her life serving her community in rural Kentucky.

Ilet her know when I asked her to join my ticket that I wanted her to play an active role and to define her own portfolio. She wants to focus on: public education, rural economic development and getting women involved in leadership (including boards and commissions, running for office, community engagement, etc.).

Ann Cormican much like our current Lieutenant Governor Jenean Hampton is an eloquent advocate for a free and flourishing Commonwealth benefiting all Kentuckians.
