enforcement vehicle headed
northbound on I-71 before escap.

Out of the millions here in the metro,
74% of those people were white.
In the Russell neighborhood,
leader Jackie Floyd has been rag
concerns that the survey was ony
online and not well publicized
out of I mean how many millionso
we have in Louisville and only 0
response They walk the black community,
do that again, walk the communiy
and talk to the residents.
Get that information If you want
a lot of response from this,
there needs to be, you know,
some methodology to get widesprd
response from the community.
As for the survey itself, most people,
72%, believe that the new chief should
have a track record of reducing crime
and promoting community safety.
But there's a split between what people
think the new chief should work on 1st.
About 65% believe it should
be crime reduction,
while 56% think it should be gun violence.
As for the top leadership quali,
more than 76% believe honesty ad
integrity are the most importan.

A heated primary race and what e
networks are calling the biggest
governor's race in the country,
Republican nominee Daniel Cameron quickly
looked to nationalize the campa,
comparing Governor Andy Beshear
with President Biden.
Meanwhile, the Democratic campan

This week, the Democratic Govers
Association launching the websie

Sign him directly to polarizing
former Governor Matt Bevin,
who Beshear narrowly defeated in 2019.
Do your campaign plan to separate yourselves
from his name and if so, how? Ts
is going to be a very clear cont
between Daniel Cameron and Andy Beshear.
And here's the contrast.
Daniel Cameron is the
Law and Order candidate.
Andy Beshear is the catch
and release candidate.
So is that a yes you'll contrast
yourself from Bevin?
I'm definitely going to contrast
myself from Andy Beshear and
that is who I'm running against.
