'Coal country' snubs Republicans in deep-red state, backs Democrat governor for re-election
Fox News
Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear received endorsements from a number of the state's coal industry leaders over his Republican opponent, state Attorney General Daniel Cameron.
Beshear, however, appears to be bucking that trend, similar to one of his fellow Democrats, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, another coal-friendly state. Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News. Follow him on Twitter at @brandon_cg.
"I am honored to receive the support of workers and industry leaders alike in Kentucky’s coal country," Beshear said in a statement. "My administration has worked hard to be an advocate for the men and women who work in our coal industry that not only powers Kentucky, but our entire country."
