FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear railed against the politics of division as he launched his second term in Kentucky. He made a pledge on Tuesday to do his part to help meet everyday needs of the people of his state. Beshear also invoked his Christian faith as a guiding principle for governing, declaring that every person deserves “true dignity and opportunity.” Beshear gave his inaugural speech outside a sun-splashed Kentucky Capitol. The governor scored a convincing reelection victory in November over Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron. It extended Beshear’s winning streak in a state that otherwise has swung toward the GOP.
