Gov. Andy Beshear's PAC, In This Together, has released an ad campaign in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District that invests $250,000 to attack Republican candidate Ralph Alvarado. The district, which surrounds Lexington, is a battleground where Democrat Zach Dembo and Alvararo are competing to replace outgoing Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY), who left to run for Senate.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee considers the Kentucky 6th District "in play" for a pickup by Democrats. Beshear has endorsed Dembo, while President Donald Trump supports Alvarado. The ad aims to link Alvarado with former Governor Matt Bevin, who was chosen as his running mate in Bevin's unsuccessful gubernatorial reelection campaign and is currently jailed on contempt of court charges related to child support.
The ad asserts that Alvarado supported Bevin during his controversial pardoning practices while governor, aiming to paint him as a problematic figure for voters. This strategy underscores the Democratic effort to capitalize on Bevin’s low approval ratings and current legal troubles to sway voters in the critical district.
