Featured Speaker - Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear
We are proud to welcome Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear as Featured Guest Speaker for the National Brunch.
Governor Andy Beshear is America’s most popular Democratic governor, winning three statewide elections in dark-red Kentucky. Beshear won reelection by more than 5% in 2023—in a state that Donald Trump carried by 30 points.
Under his leadership, Kentucky has seen historic economic development and record investments in infrastructure, including building affordable high ground housing on reclaimed coal mines, positioning Kentucky’s as a leader in electric vehicle battery manufacturing, and opening the first hospital in Kentucky’s largest African American community in over 150 years. Beshear has offered steady, compassionate leadership after historic disasters, from devastating tornadoes to historic flooding.
He governs a state with Republican supermajorities while standing firm on his values and doing the right thing regardless of politics. Beshear has regularly sued the Trump Administration to protect Kentucky’s interests, including over $100 million in funding for Kentucky’s public schools. He has vetoed every anti-LGBTQ+ bill that has come to his desk, banned conversion therapy via executive order, restored voting rights to nearly 200,000 Kentuckians and vetoed four anti-choice bills—including one of the most extreme abortion bans in the country.
