Former Attorney General and Republican governor candidate Daniel Cameron is reluctant to put all of Kentucky’s hypothetical eggs in the renewable energy basket.
In an interview with the Daily News, Cameron talked about his new position as CEO of the 1792 Exchange, a nonprofit focused on fighting “woke corporations” and ESG, an investment strategy often associated with progressive priorities like cleaner energy and racial and gender equity.
He didn’t rule out future political aspirations. Last year, Cameron easily defeated a sizable Republican primary lineup before eventually losing to incumbent Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear in November’s general election.
Cameron’s platform heavily leaned on national issues, like Republicans’ anti-LGBTQ agenda. Cameron often connected himself to former President Donald Trump, while attempting to link Beshear to President Joe Biden.
“I ran largely on helping our teachers and making Kentucky an education state, and leading on education. And I ran on making sure that our urban core — that we revitalize it— and that meant ensuring that we have public safety,” Cameron said.
