Kentucky voters could make history several times over this November.
Voters could elect the state's first African-American to statewide office, the first millennial and the first governor from Louisville in more than a century.
Jenean Hampton, the lieutenant governor candidate running with Republican Matt Bevin, could be the first African-American elected to statewide office if Bevin's 83-vote lead over James Comer in the Republican primary holds up after a recanvass this week.
Ryan Quarles, the 31-year-old Republican nominee for Agriculture Commissioner, could become one of the youngest statewide elected officials in the country. He joins Republican nominee for treasurer Allison Ball, 33, and 34-year-old Attorney General nominee Whitney Westerfield for a particularly young ticket.
Both Bevin and Democratic nominee Jack Conway live in Louisville.
