David Bergstein started his new job on Thursday. He had similar duties for the Florida Democratic Party during the 2012 presidential election cycle. He is a former regional press secretary for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and has experience working on campaigns in California and nearby Indiana.
Kentucky Democratic Party Chairman Patrick Hughes said Bergstein is a valuable addition to the party as it prepares to wage an aggressive campaign for governor. Conway, the current attorney general, faces little-known candidate Geoff Young in the May 19 Democratic primary.
Four people are seeking the Republican nomination: Matt Bevin, James Comer, Hal Heiner and Will T. Scott.
