Republican Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who is running for governor in the Bluegrass State and was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, previously worked for a group that has supported ending cash bail to fight “racial inequity" in the criminal justice system, records show.
Cameron's prior criminal justice system remarks could earn him backlash from Republican voters in Kentucky, which saw violent crimes spike in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic to its highest levels since 2008, according to multiple reports. Cameron is set to face off in a Monday debate against his GOP opponents, including former United Nations Ambassador Kelly Craft, who has polled second to the attorney general as the primary election draws near on May 16.
The now-attorney general's coalition job partially overlapped with his attorney role from June 2017 to November 2019 at the law firm Frost Brown Todd, where he lobbied on behalf of the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, a coalition advocating the legalization of cannabis-related products, according to lobbying disclosures reviewed by the Washington Examiner and Cameron's LinkedIn account.
