LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Democratic Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes says she will run for statewide office this year.

The former Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate said she has been encouraged to run for governor, attorney general and to seek re-election as Secretary of State. Grimes said she has not decided what she will do yet but that she will file for office before the Jan. 27 deadline.

On Monday, Grimes attended the Alpha Phi Alpha Unity Breakfast in Lexington with former state Sen. Georgia Davis Powers. With a campaign photographer in tow, Grimes worked the room of about 1,500 people before leading the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Freedom March.

I do hope she decides to run for AG or Governor - there would be some serious fireworks in those primaries between the factions of the Dems.

Kentucky apparently has its own version of Kamala Harris.

In her last campaign she proved herself to be incompetent, nasty and, based on her “concession” speech, vindictive. Sounds like a perfect person to run as the Democratic candidate for another state office.

Someone should sit her down and tell her in no uncertain terms that...she’d doing it exactly right! Double down on the sarcasm, nastiness, and blame game. That will really do it!

The women with three names is a legacy of women’s lib. It was oppressive and patriarchal and all that for a woman to take her husband’s last name,etc.

I never understood certain things about this. Because if a woman kept her maiden name or did the hyphenated last name, then she is keeping her father’s last name. So isn’t that still patriarchal??? To be intellectally honest about what they are trying to accomplish, doesn’t a woman have to completely change her name when she becomes an adult??? Regardless of her marital status?

Anyway marriage is an oppressive institution to women, so women should not get married anyway. Nowadays we only honor and celebrate homosexual marriage. (Sarcasm)
