Governor Beshear campaigned in Owensboro Thursday, and while Kentucky Edition was there, we caught up with someone else who's become a familiar face during this campaign season.
Our Laura Rogers has more from Davis County.
Davis County Democrats welcoming Governor Andy Beshear to Owensboro.
We have staff members here that are here every day at the headquarters knocking on doors.
They they've knocked on thousands of doors and in the community and continue to do that.
This is our chance in the commonwealth.
The governor speaking at campaign headquarters on his record as he seeks a second term.
It is a truly exciting time coming off the best years we ever had in economic development.
Back to back setting the lowest unemployment rate we've ever seen, creating 48,000 new jobs statewide, providing more opportunity for our kids, investing in education.
Owensboro is the hometown of Hadley.
Duvall, who appears in a Bashir campaign ad blasting Attorney General Daniel Cameron's position on abortion rights.
Hadley is so brave and so courageous, and she's speaking her truth and she's speaking her truth, even though it takes her back to trauma.
So she can be there for other little girls that are in that same situation that is so brave to stand up statewide and fight for other people out there.
Duvall sharing her personal story of being raped by her stepfather, later miscarrying a pregnancy, criticizing Cameron for supporting Kentucky's near-total abortion ban.
Knowing that I was once a very young survivor that was faced with a choice that I had to make and knowing that they don't have that choice right now and at that age, I would not have been in the place that I am today to be able to speak about them, knowing that somebody has their backs important to me.
What Daniel Cameron believes is that a rapist should have more rights than their victim.
I could not disagree more and Hadley is giving voice that this is real, that it happens and that we need to put her and victims first.
In an interview with Spectrum News One, Cameron expressed sympathy for Duvall and indicated he would sign a bill with exceptions if required to by the courts.
I don't really know how somebody could say that their heart goes out to me without addressing me by name or without even considering what I went through.
He said he can never comprehend it, but still decides to make choices for victims who are in that same situation right now.
Cameron says he's the pro-life candidate in the race and that Bashir supports abortion into the ninth month of pregnancy.
My opponent has been lying about my position from day one.
I've been consistent since I started running for attorney general that there can and should be reasonable restrictions on that procedure in Kentucky, especially restrictions on late term abortions.
It's where I've always been.
But a desperate person will say just about anything.
That's where my opponent is right now on this issue, because he can't look at your camera and say that victims of rape or incest deserve options.
I'll do it.
They absolutely deserve options.
Every single one of them.
For Kentucky Edition, I'm Laura Rogers.
Now we'll have more on this issue of abortion in the governor's race and the latest polls and our end of week recap of inside Kentucky politics.
That's coming up in just a few minutes.
