There have been a lot of influential alumni of the University of Louisville over the years, one of them ascending the political ladder as far as Majority Leader (Mitch McConnell) in the U.S. Senate. A current firebrand and rising star of the GOP, former Cardinal defensive back Daniel Cameron who played for the 2006 Orange Bowl Champion squad, became the first African American Attorney General in the state’s history when he won the office in 2019. He entered the state gubernatorial fray for this November, winning the Republican nomination this Spring.
Graduating from nearby John Hardin High School in Elizabethtown and being in Kentucky politics after graduating with both a bachelor’s degree and law degree from UofL’s Brandeis Law School, Cameron is all too familiar with how politics works in this state.
