Fox News
Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear received more unconventional support for his re-election bid as a number of law enforcement officials endorsed him over Republican Daniel Cameron.
"Now more than ever, law enforcement needs a strong ally in Frankfort with a record of fighting for us and understanding the sacrifices our officers make to keep our Commonwealth safe," Floyd County Sheriff John Hunt, the co-chair of Law Enforcement for Beshear, said in a statement.

"Governor Beshear’s work to pass pay raises, deliver more resources and provide funding for training facilities throughout the Commonwealth are all evidence of his unwavering commitment to our law enforcement officers. While other candidates try to dodge responsibility in office, Governor Beshear has shown up and delivered for Kentucky law enforcement."
