Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear answers questions during an interview with The Associated Press at the Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 7, 2022. Kelly Craft set a fast pace for raising and spending campaign cash in late 2022, overtaking her Republican rivals in fundraising while pouring more than $1 million into her bid to become Kentucky's next governor, according to the latest campaign-finance reports. The competition for campaign cash will intensify as GOP gubernatorial hopefuls step up their outreach to try to break through the crowded field for the state's May primary. The winner is expected to pose a formidable challenge to incumbent Gov. Beshear, who has maintained high approval ratings in a state that continues to trend toward Republicans. (AP Photo/Timothy D.
