Gov. Steve Beshear

An attorney by profession, Beshear has a long background in public service, having served as a state representative in the Kentucky General Assembly, attorney general and lieutenant governor prior to being elected governor.

To each of these positions he has brought a foundation of integrity and ethics, as well as a deeply felt commitment to improving the lives of fellow Kentuckians.

As governor, Beshear has helped restore public trust by creating a culture of integrity in state government. Despite inheriting an austere budget and a struggling economy, he has focused on initiatives to help Kentucky families.
