According to the Cinci Enquirer, Grimes will be running for statewide office this year "from governor to attorney general, to secretary of state." She has until Jan. 27th to pick which office she's running for.Obviously, she needs to run for re-election if anything. There was a recent poll done that shows 1 in 2 Kentuckians doesn't want Grimes to run for Governor, and it's already been stated that she can't beat Conway in a primary.
Steve Beshear's son has already been anointed as the Democratic successor to Conway as Attorney General, so that's another obvious no no.
Edelen's running for Auditor again, and Democrats already seem to have candidates for Treasurer and Agriculture Commissioner, but not SoS.
Hopefully Grimes does what's best for her party. Brunner in Ohio did something similar to what Grimes is considering back in 2010 by going against the party's wishes and running for higher office instead of re-election, and it ultimately contributed to costing our party control of the SoS office.
