Cameron named CEO of 1792 Exchange

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) — Former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron was named chief executive officer of 1792 Exchange on Wednesday.

1792 Exchange’s mission is to “seek to preserve freedom by partnering with allies to steer public companies back to neutral on divisive, ideological issues,” according to a press release.

“I’m honored to serve as the CEO of the 1792 Exchange, where I will continue meaningful work to put an end to the anti-American ESG agenda that threatens to take over our corporations and change the fabric of our country,” Cameron said. “We will shine a bright light on those whose ideological agendas seek to dismantle American freedom and prosperity. We will stop investment management firms, elected officials, and corporate interests from using other people’s money to advance their radical political agendas.”

According to 1792 Exchange’s website, the not-for-profit “protects faith-based and conservative institutions and philanthropy, and helps corporations move back toward neutral to protect free exercise, speech and enterprise.”

Cameron will join President Paul Fitzpatrick in leading the non-profit educational organization.

Cameron was the 51st attorney general of Kentucky. He also served as legal counsel to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

He ran an unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign against incumbent Gov. Andy Beshear in 2023 as the Republican candidate.
