Local teachers unions have already provided heavy funding to Kentucky Family Values, a PAC that is funding a field operation to support Beshear. Kentucky Family Values received $300,000 from both the Kentucky Education Association and Better Schools Kentucky, the political arm of the Jefferson County Teachers Association.
Other unions not involving teachers have pitched in more than $2 million of funding for both of the aforementioned PACs, including the United Auto Workers and those representing communications workers, plumbers and pipefitters and food and commercial workers.
Another PAC assisting Beshear is Planned Parenthood Action Kentucky, which purchased a $175,000 digital ad campaign hitting Cameron on his support for Kentucky’s near-total abortion ban with no exceptions for rape and incest. Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the national arm of the abortion provider, has contributed $200,000 to the local PAC.
