Standing in front of the Hall of Governors at the Kentucky Historical Society, Democratic Kentucky Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman announced her 2027 run for governor Monday morning.
The 43-year-old, who is a former teacher, assistant principal and basketball coach, is making public education a cornerstone of her campaign. Coleman was Gov. Andy Beshear’s running mate for his 2019 and 2023 elections. She added that her run will focus on putting “people over politics.”
“If you are looking for somebody to talk less about politicians and more about you, or someone who listens more than they talk, here she is,” Coleman said.
Former Democratic Lt. Gov. Crit Luallen, who was appointed to the post by Gov. Steve Beshear to fill a vacancy, introduced Coleman in-person. Coleman’s daughter, Emma Coleman-O’Bryan, spoke to the crowd via a video message as she is serving in the military.
Luallen said it was fitting to announce Coleman’s campaign in front of the Hall of Governors, which houses portraits of past state leaders.
“There is only one female governor on those walls,” Luallens said, referring to the late Gov. Martha Layne Collins, a Democrat. “The words spoken here today will chart a path to elect the next woman whose portrait will hang in that Hall of Governors.”
Coleman also gave a nod to Kentucky’s first and only female governor, who too had served as a lieutenant governor and school teacher. Collins is often credited with bringing a Toyota manufacturing plant to Georgetown in Central Kentucky. Coleman said that “much of our economic success was built on the foundation” established by Collins.
Coleman didn’t speak to reporters after her announcement.

Looks like the good old Kentuck boyz will be voting with their Willie Johnsons the way the Virginia goobers did.
The trend is for every state to have an AWFUL Governor.
Democrats are counting on the RINO blocking the save act so they can cement their permanent majority.
That usually applies to attractive candidates, so it wouldn’t be the case in the Kentucky race or the Virginia one.
Another evil Ritalin pusher and LGBT groomer. Wonderful
Sadly, Kentucky has a horrible habit of electing Democrat governors. A state that voted 3 times for Trump at about 63-37% and has a Republican super majority in state representatives still vote for Democrat governors. Sigh.
I realize that. Virginia chose a XX version of Little Jimmy “Gollum” Carwreck. They both look like some kind of evil aliens.
Very attractive.
Attention, white males: RUN FOR OFFICE!
Thanks for making that Correction. +1
KT and AZ have two things in common.
A local GOP that seems to think “getting along” will broaden the base.
This thinking began in CA back 25 years ago.
It only ends one way.
Attention, also, Veterans who are gifted speakers, look good on camera, and have no (as in not any) financial or sex skeletons in their closets: RUN FOR OFFICE.
How can anyone be a Democrat?
Teacher, basketball coach...... Gotta be some untoward activities in there someplace.
She is better looking then the White Witch of Richmond.
I am told the two voting blocks that keeps Rat governors in power in Kentucky is teacher’s union and public employees union. The issue they exploit is the state pension fund (both)

and even though Ratters in the past completely mismanaged it Kentucky voters seem to still want Ratters managing it.
The trifecta of unqualified. Please KY, do the right thing.
She’ll win easily with the teachers and public employees unions behind her, assisted by goobers who will vote with her good looks in mind.
