Kentucky Election Kickoff Gubernatorial Candidates Speak Out
Part 2 and final in the KEK series
The KEK was well attended and nearly all 2023 Primary candidates showed up! The photo features Carrie Sanders McKeehan, organizer of the event, with Bridgette Ehly who ran for D-59 State Representative in 2022.
Watch each BRIEF video to gain KNOWLEDGE about candidates, their ideas, and the issues. The FastZone crew did not anticipate the video opportunity so while the audio is superb, the video is not close-up.
