Race background
Senate debate over outside legal representation
In March 2015, Republican candidate and state Sen. Whitney Westerfield sponsored a bill to increase transparency and limit contracts between the state Department of Justice and law firms representing the state. Westerfield's bill proposed greater clarity for state residents interested in which law firms represent the state and how much money was given to these firms under contingency agreements. Senate Minority Leader Ray Jones (D) asked Westerfield about the size of the department's budget and how often the state uses outside law firms. Westerfield was unable to answer budget questions, stating, "Right now I don't know, I can't recall that line from the budget." In an interview following a debate over SB 118, Westerfield noted that, "I think it's crossing a line allowing someone who's got the prosecution power of the entire state to have a pecuniary interest in pushing extra hard to get the penalties and the fees."[7]
Jones unsuccessfully attempted to remove a provision from the bill that limited the amount law firms collect when damages are awarded to the state. According to Jones, this limitation would have discouraged law firms from assisting the state with highly specialized legal cases and would only attract firms with higher rates. Democratic candidate Andy Beshear supported Jones following the debate, indicating that recent cuts in the department's budget made financial flexibility all the more important. Allison Martin, a spokesperson for Attorney General Jack Conway (D), argued that the state had only used outside lawyers on contingency agreements eight times in the past seven years.[7]
Early funding advantage for Beshear
Beshear jumped out to a strong financial advantage before facing any official opposition to replace Jack Conway in 2015. Beshear, the son of Gov. Steve Beshear, reported $1.48 million in contributions through September 30, 2014. These contributions were received at 87 fundraisers and included donations from executives at Philip Morris, Daymar College, and Louisville Gas & Electric. By comparison, Conway spent a total of $1.9 million during his election bids in 2007 and 2011.[8]
Beshear's fundraising prowess drew criticism due to potential conflicts of interest in the attorney general's office. The Attorney General of Kentucky often has an adversarial role with utilities if they request increases in energy prices. Beshear's campaign received $1,000 donations from three executives at Carespring Health Care Management, which settled state and federal investigations into patient injuries and deaths in 2013. Beshear's experience representing corporate clients at Stites & Harbison and his connections in his father's administration also raised concerns about conflicts of interest.[8]
Beshear issued the following statement in response to a report by the Lexington Herald-Leader on his campaign finances:
| “ |
Provided I am elected attorney general, I will have only two clients, the commonwealth and its citizens. All decisions will start and end with the law and what is best for Kentucky's families. [9] |
” |
| —Lexington Herald-Leader, (2014) | ||
In considering a potential candidacy in early January, Westerfield criticized Beshear by stating:
| “ |
I refuse to let someone who I don’t believe is qualified for the office, who I don’t believe has the practice experience or policy experience for the office, to have that and a walk...And I frankly think there are plenty of people out there who aren’t prepared to have another Beshear at state level government in Frankfort. [9] |
” |
| —WEKU, (2015) | ||
Beshear was running unopposed prior to Westerfield filing his candidacy on January 9, 2015.[11]

Debates

General election debate
Andy Beshear (D) and Whitney Westerfield (R) debated on KET's Kentucky Tonight. The debate took place on October 12, 2015. The candidates agreed on many political issues but criticized each other's experience and character.[12]
Westerfield accused Beshear of trying to buy the election by raising millions of dollars through his connection to his father, Governor Steve Beshear. Westerfield said he had heard stories that Andy Beshear received donations in exchange for state favors, including road projects.[12]
Beshear defended himself against Westerfield's charges. "No contribution, no matter how big or how small, would ever influence a decision I made in that office," he said.[12]
Beshear responded by comparing his experience to Westerfield's, calling Westerfield a "full-time debt collector" for payday lenders and others, as well as a "part-time prosecutor."[12] Beshear claimed that Westerfield's performance was criticized by the Christian County commonwealth's attorney, his boss. Beshear said his own experience as a nationally respected attorney at Stites & Harbison was superior to Westerfield's.[12]
The two candidates largely agreed on issues such as prohibition of marijuana and heroin, restoring nonviolent felons' voting rights and the role of the attorney general.[12]
One issue they disagreed on was Governor Beshear's response to the controversy surrounding Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses after the Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision. Westerfield said the governor broke the law by not protecting the clerk's religious liberties. Andy Beshear defended his father's decision to instruct clerks to obey Obergefell.[12]
April 20 Republican forum
Michael Hogan and State Sen. Whitney Westerfield sought to distance themselves from attorney general and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jack Conway during a debate televised on Kentucky Educational Television. Both criticized Conway’s refusal to appeal the ruling from U.S. District Judge John Heyburn striking down Kentucky’s ban on same-sex marriage in 2014. Conway claimed that Kentucky’s law was discriminatory and would not file an appeal to uphold the ban. Westerfield also attacked Conway for his failure to engage with the General Assembly, claiming that Conway has not worked hard to push legislation. Hogan offered Conway praise for his work in prosecuting child predators and Internet crimes.
Although the candidates were in agreement on most issues, Hogan did criticize Westerfield’s vote against a bill that would have set a floor for the state gas tax. This tax was based on the wholesale price of gasoline and was tied to Kentucky’s road fund, the main source of funds for the state’s roadway system. The decline of gas prices in Kentucky could have led to insufficient revenue to meet the needs of Kentucky’s transportation infrastructure, according to a Kentucky Transportation Center report in May 2015.[13] Hogan also questioned Westerfield’s vote to double the amount of money individuals can contribute to political campaigns, which Westerfield defended by claiming that funds from individual donors would most likely go towards candidate-run campaigns that must disclose donors, rather than political action committees (PACs) which often do not have to report donors.[14]

Agriculture
- Excerpt: "Farmers need an elected official that will protect their industry from burdensome regulation and costly taxation – costs that are carried on the shoulders of each of us at the grocery."
Crime
- Excerpt: " The changes to the penal code have removed much of the disincentive to possess or traffic in controlled substances."
Protection Of Life
- Excerpt: "Protecting our unborn may not be popular, and may be difficult under certain circumstances, but those children are lives worthy of protection nonetheless."
Gaming
- Excerpt: "Gambling and gaming is tempting as a possible way out for the very people in the Commonwealth who have the least means to gamble with. The costs to our families and communities is far too great for any revenue the gaming lobby promises it can deliver."
Marriage
- Excerpt: "God made marriage a sacred union between a man and a woman, and I will never recognize a different standard."

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
