Be sure to note that the Lt. Gov. Elect is a black woman — the first black person ever elected to state-wide office in Kentucky.
I saw that, but expected that KY FReepers knew that.
I live in MN...
You should have seen it when a reporter on a panel covering the election turned to the Democrat on the panel after there was a discussion about the “diversity” on the Republican stage (the first Latino state Senator introduced the first black statewide office holder to be elected, and Matt Bevin’s family with adopted children from Ethiopia) and said “I don’t mean to put you on the spot, but I don’t believe we’ve seen any people of color of the Democrat stage, have we?” - she was literally at a loss for words - unable to put a sentence together.
Yes, Jenean Hampton, our new Lt. Governor-elect is the FIRST minority EVER elected to one of Kentucky's statewide Constitutional offices. And she is Constitutional as they come. When media ask her about being the "first black woman" to do this and/or that, she will correct them and say "I am a conservative woman, not a black woman."
