Kentucky elects first African American Attorney General

Republican Daniel Cameron, a former University of Louisville football player made history in a resounding win in the race for Kentucky attorney general, becoming the first African American in state history to win the office.

Cameron defeated Democrat Greg Stumbo, who served as attorney general from 2004 to 2008 and is also a former speaker of the Kentucky House of Representatives.

"Now it's time to not only to talk the talk, but walk the walk," Cameron said in his victory speech Tuesday night. "And so we have a responsibility in the coming days to work with whomever, regardless if you have a Republican designation by your name or if you have a Democrat designation by your name."
