LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The head of the Democratic Governors Association said Kentucky's contest this fall will be a top priority for the organization.
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley told The Courier-Journal that he couldn't say how much the organization will spend in the Bluegrass State, but the group will be active as the race heats up. O'Malley was in Louisville to speak at the Jefferson County Democratic Party's Wendell H. Ford Appreciation Dinner on Saturday.
Both parties view Kentucky has a priority because of the limited number of gubernatorial elections this year. The heads of both the Democratic and Republican governors associations have been to Kentucky this spring.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who heads the Republican Governors Association, spoke at the GOP state Lincoln Day dinner on April 9.
