And we're now seeing the first public poll in weeks.
How did the candidates stack up?
Our Kacey Parker Bell breaks down the numbers there.
Just 32 days until Kentucky's primary election with 12 people vying for the Republican nomination for governor.
A new poll shed some light on how Kentuckians are feeling about the race.
Fox, 56, and Emerson College, polled 900 very likely Republican voters.
The results show Kentucky attorney General Daniel Cameron in the lead with over 30% of the vote.
Former U.N.
Ambassador Kelly Craft is in second with 23.9%.
Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Corales had the third highest percentage of the vote at just under 15%.
But more than 20% of the likely primary voters polled say they remain undecided.
Cameron's lead has dwindled since the last public polling released in January.
That poll showed Cameron with a 26 point lead over his next closest competitor.
Earlier this week, Daniel Cameron released his first television ad.
But Governor Bashir ignored the Constitution and shut churches down.
And Kelly Craft continues to flood the airwaves with commercials.
And as governor.
I'll dismantle the Department of Education and start fresh.
But with over a month before primary Election Day, Ryan calls still has time and the money to run his own advertising blitz.
Campaign finance reports filed in January show calls with over $800,000 to spend.
Only two other candidates polled above 1%.
Eric Dieter's received 6% of the vote, and state Auditor Mike Harmon had 1.7.
Over 40% of polled voters agree on the most important issue for the Commonwealth the economy, threats to democracy and education are the next two most important issues and the only other ones receiving more than 10% of the vote.
On people to know that while today it's a horrific act, I do believe that this is a safe community.
Monday morning shooting at Old National Bank in downtown Louisville has led some to question whether Kentucky should pass new legislation.
But polling from Emerson College shows Republicans are happy with the state's current gun laws.
Over 70% say Kentucky laws are just right with another 17.9% saying the gun laws are too strict.
There are at least two more opportunities for voters to see the GOP candidates before the May primary.
Kentucky Sports Radio will host a debate on April 19, and candidates will have an opportunity to appear on Kentucky tonight on May 1st.
For Kentucky Edition.
