Westerfield posts candidate financial disclosure forms

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Republican Whitney Westerfield is posting his candidate financial disclosure information online in his race for Kentucky attorney general.

Westerfield, of Hopkinsville, said in a statement Monday that it’s the transparency he has promised as candidate and as a state senator.

He says legislative financial disclosures are posted online by the Legislative Ethics Commission, but candidate disclosures submitted to the Executive Branch Ethics Commission aren’t available online.

The disclosure forms are available online at http://www.whitneywesterfield.com/disclosures .

Westerfield faces Lawrence County Attorney Michael Hogan in the Republican primary. Andy Beshear, Gov. Steve Beshear’s son, is the only Democratic candidate in the race.
