Gov. Andy Beshear’s (D-KY) political action committee is making a play in Kentucky’s open 6th Congressional District, investing a quarter of a million dollars in attack ad money against GOP candidate Ralph Alvarado.
In Kentucky’s 6th District, which circles Lexington and its surrounding area, former state Sen. Alvarado and Democratic former federal prosecutor Zach Dembo are facing off to see who will replace outgoing Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY), who left the upper chamber to run for Senate. Beshear has endorsed Dembo, who formerly worked for him as a policy adviser, while President Donald Trump has endorsed Alvarado.
