Russell Coleman, Former Trump U.S. Attorney and FBI Special Agent, Announces Run for Kentucky Attorney General

Berl Perdue: Coleman is the most qualified person to ever run for Attorney General in Kentucky.

RUSSELLVILLE, Ky. (May 12, 2022) – Russell Coleman, President Trump’s handpicked federal prosecutor for the Western District of Kentucky, is launching a 2023 campaign for Attorney General. A pro-life, pro-family candidate who will always Back the Blue, Coleman has the relationships and experience to make sure Kentuckians are safe.

Once called “the best prosecutor in America,” Coleman vows to continue his life’s work by cracking down on violent crime and dangerous drug traffickers as Attorney General.

“My priority is the same as President Trump’s: Make America Safe Again by stopping the people who are poisoning our communities with deadly drugs and using technology to target our kids, parents and grandparents. As Attorney General, I will never stop working to protect our families, uphold our conservative values, and protect our Constitutional freedoms. My plan is to build a safer Commonwealth for everyone, from the big cities to the small towns of Kentucky,” said Coleman, Republican candidate for Attorney General.

Coleman has always known from a young age that his calling was in law enforcement. As an FBI agent, he worked to protect our national security and volunteered for an assignment in Iraq to help our troops capture and kill terrorists. Additionally, Coleman served as Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney in Oldham County and Senior Advisor and Legal Counsel to U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell.

“I grew up in Western Kentucky where my faith and conservative values were instilled in me by my parents and grandparents. I’m pro-life, pro-gun, and pro-police. I think when people break our laws and put others in danger they deserve to be thrown in jail. No matter where my career has taken me—as an FBI Special Agent hunting terrorists in Iraq, a volunteer local prosecutor and U.S. Attorney for President Trump —I’ve always brought my conservative Kentucky values with me.

“Our current Attorney General, Daniel Cameron, has been an outstanding fighter for conservative values, for the rule of law and for Kentucky. I look forward to building on his many achievements. I’m also incredibly grateful to the well-respected leaders who are endorsing my campaign. I’m proud to have their vote, and I will work hard to earn the support of every Kentuckian,” Coleman said.

Among Coleman’s more than 50 Day One endorsements is law enforcement leader and Clark County Sheriff Berl Perdue: “Russell Coleman is the most qualified person to ever run for Attorney General in Kentucky. He is the proven leader we need to protect our people and keep our streets safe from violent crime and illegal drugs. Russell will make us proud, and I’m honored to support him.”
