From Courier-Journal.com:
A Lexington lawyer, a former federal administrator, a rural businessman and a former mayor all vow to make elections more secure, streamline business filings and improve civics education as Kentucky’s next Secretary of State.
They’ll face off in Tuesday’s Republican and Democratic primaries, with the winners battling in November to see who will become Kentucky’s next chief elections officer.
The Democratic primary will pit Secretary of State Elaine Walker, the former Bowling Green mayor appointed in January by Gov. Steve Beshear, against politically connected attorney Alison Lundergan Grimes in a race that has divided top Democratic leaders.
