Law enforcement has been in the sights of Kentucky’s new attorney general since childhood.

Russell Coleman handily won election as the state’s top cop in November of 2023 and is committed to tackling violent crime and drug addiction. Before becoming Kentucky’s chief law enforcer as attorney general, Coleman served during the Trump Administration as US attorney for the western district of Kentucky that encompasses 53 counties. He’s also served as an FBI Special Agent and legal counsel to Sen. Mitch McConnell.

On the next Connections, Renee Shaw talks with Coleman about his priorities as attorney general and whether he can find common ground with Democratic governor Andy Besehear, among other subjects.
