Kentucky Congressional Race Turns Toxic | Lexington News

The Kentucky congressional race is turning into a fiery mudslinging battle, with Republican Ralph Alvarado and Democrat Zach Dembo trading harsh accusations. Alvarado, backed by the Fraternal Order of Police, attacks Dembo over his time as a federal prosecutor, citing a former trooper’s claim that Dembo railroaded him — though Dembo’s team counters that the indictment was legally justified and highlights Dembo’s record fighting crime and corruption. Meanwhile, Dembo fires back by calling Alvarado corrupt, pointing to a controversial bill Alvarado sponsored that benefited nursing homes — a bill later struck down by the state Supreme Court. As Election Day nears, both candidates are digging deep into each other’s pasts, painting their opponents as unfit for public office.
