I had the honor and privilege of hosting my friend Russell Coleman for his swearing in as our new Attorney General at my office last night. We rang in the New Year as Judge Dan Fendley administered the oath in front of Russell’s family and a small group of friends! Congratulations General! You will do an outstanding job!

Early this morning, I formalized a promise to the people of Kentucky to help protect their families and uphold the rule of law.

I am filled with gratitude for the people of this Commonwealth who placed their trust in me and the fine team we’ve assembled to take on this mission.
