John –
Ever wonder what it’s like to live in the life of Gov. Andy Beshear?
It includes some running, taking his beloved dog Winnie for a walk, hanging out with his wife Britainy and two teenagers, Will and Lila, and getting to work every day for the people of Kentucky.
But you don’t have to take our word for it, Vogue just published a profile of Andy, going into detail about not just his home and family, but how he approaches his work for the Commonwealth, how he maintains his status as the most popular Democratic governor in America, and how he continues to win elections as a Democratic governor in deep-red Kentucky.
The secret? He works hard to meet people where they are, to listen to the Kentuckians he represents and respond to meet their needs, and to govern the state by leading with his values—or, in his words, explaining the “why” behind his decisions.
If you'd like to learn more about how he does it, see an excerpt and read the profile at the link below!
Vogue: “Democratic Governor Andy Beshear Has Won (and Won Again) in Trump Country. What’s Next?”
Beshear’s elections have all been close, but in each the margin has widened: In 2015 he was elected attorney general by 0.2 percentage points, and then in 2019, he won the governorship by about 5,000 votes—Kentucky’s closest gubernatorial contest in more than a century. Four years later, in 2023, with Democrats 12 months from a national wipeout, Beshear was reelected by five points. “A landslide,” he jokes.
And he accomplished this without turning away from the values and priorities of the left. When Kentucky Republicans recently put forward bills dismantling DEI programs at public universities and setting medical guidelines around emergency abortions (Kentucky has a near-total abortion ban), Beshear took out his veto pen. “He hasn’t been shy about standing up for the things that he believes in,” says Jaime Harrison, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee. “And to do that in, you know, Mitch McConnell’s red Kentucky? And still get reelected? It shows that he has some real political skill.”
