Daniel Jay Cameron (born November 22, 1985, age 40) is the conservative Attorney General of Kentucky and the Republican nominee for governor in 2024. On July 19, 2023, he picked a conservative running mate, Robby Mills, who has a track record of attracting Dem voters to the Republican side.[1]
Endorsed by U.S. President Donald Trump,[2] Cameron was elected Kentucky Attorney General in 2019 beating his white privileged Democrat opponent by 58% to 42%, becoming the state's first black Attorney General and the first Republican AG in seventy years.[3] Cameron takes conservative positions,[4] in particular a strong stance against illegal immigration.[5]
Cameron is running for governor of Kentucky in 2024, against the Democrat incumbent Andy Beshear. Against a well-funded opponent backed the Establishment and Never-Trumpers 2024, Cameron won the GOP primary in a landslide on May 17, 2023.[6]
