Daniel Cameron, responding today to developments in the Republican primary for U.S.
Senate.
Now, a few short days ago, the options in this race became clear.
This is a two man race between me and Andy Barr.
Cameron, drawing a distinction between himself and Barr on background and record, and blasted Barr's decision not to take part.
And the two most recent debates in politics.
You can run ads.
You can send emails.
You can send mail.
You can say anything you want to behind a camera.
But when it comes time to take the stage, look the people of Kentucky in the eye and answer for your record.
That's when it.
Counts.
On Friday, President Trump announced his endorsement of Congressman Barr and invitation to Nate Morris to serve as an ambassador in his administration.
For ten months.
Nate Morris and Andy Barr were bickering with each other on television, in fact, at the first Fox debate.
I got a lot of kudos and applause because I didn't get in the middle of the scrum that they were having.
They were open hostilities between the two of them.
And in a matter of seconds, that disappeared.
Cameron calling it, quote, politics at its worst, but says he's encouraged by messages of support from those who had planned to vote for Nate Morris.
There are a lot of a lot of folks that are upset with the process that was undertaken that got us to this spot.
He says this primary is all about who turns out to the polls on May 19th.
Cameron launching a statewide Kentucky first tour with 34 official campaign stops scheduled across the state over the next two weeks.
What I'm focused on is garnering as much support, since that decision has been made for people to come to this camp because they know authenticity means something, and they know that if I say something, I'm going to stand firm by those things.
He's also standing firm in his candidacy, saying no one has asked him to drop out of the race and he doesn't plan to.
I'm leading in the polls.
There's been only one poll that has shown that Andy Barr is ahead in this race.
Every other poll has shown that I am in the lead.
Cameron says his campaign has built a broad coalition of support and portrayed his opponent, Congressman Andy Barr, as a career politician.
Now, if you want real change, you don't need someone who has spent the past 14 years of their life sucking up to the D.C.
swamp.
I'm not beholden to anyone in Washington.
I'm beholden to the people here in this Commonwealth.
He says if elected to the U.S.
Senate, he pledges to only serve two terms for Kentucky edition.
I'm Laura Rogers.
Cameron's Kentucky First tour begins this Friday in western Kentucky, with stops planned in McCracken, graves, Hopkins and Henderson counties.
