CRESTWOOD, Ky. (June 6, 2022) – Russell Coleman, Kentucky Attorney General candidate, announced today 10 more endorsements from national and Kentucky leaders. Support continues to grow for Coleman’s pro-life, pro-family campaign to be Kentucky’s top cop. Utilizing his service as President Trump’s U.S. Attorney, a volunteer prosecutor and FBI Special Agent, Coleman is the most qualified Kentuckian ever to run for Attorney General.
Among the new endorsements are President Trump’s DEA Chief Uttam Dhillon, Kentucky State Senator Chris McDaniel and Kentucky State Representative Jennifer Decker, a former staff member for Sen. Rand Paul.
“Russell Coleman was a dogged partner in delivering on President Trump’s directive to ‘Make America Safe Again’ through targeting those who brought dangerous drugs into Kentucky from over our Southwest Border with Mexico,” said President Trump’s Acting DEA Administrator Uttam Dhillon. “He was a strong advocate for treating drug overdoses as crimes, targeting the dealers that brought death to so many families in the Commonwealth. To better serve rural Kentucky, Russell pushed hard for DEA’s first-ever office in Paducah and for DEA to open an office in Bowling Green. The result of his leadership as U.S. Attorney is that Kentucky families are better protected.”
“Russell Coleman is the epitome of what Kentucky deserves in an Attorney General,” said Senator Chris McDaniel. “Whether serving in the Department of Justice, as a Special Agent in the FBI or as the United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky, his entire professional career has been dedicated to public safety. It is his background, incomparable work ethic and vision for the future of law enforcement in Kentucky that make me proud to support Russell to be the Commonwealth’s next Attorney General.”
“The Commonwealth is fortunate to have a candidate as qualified and as committed to our pro-life values as Russell Coleman for Attorney General,” said Representative Jennifer Decker. “He will be a staunch defender of constitutional rights, and I predict he will become known as the best Attorney General in our state’s history.”
