Last November, on the same day that Republicans lost the governor’s race in Kentucky, relative unknown attorney Daniel Cameron was elected over a Kentucky state senator to become the first black attorney general of the entire state. On the second night of the Republican National Convention, the nation finally got to find out why.

Cameron, a millennial who became the state’s first Republican attorney general in nearly a century, stood out as the night’s breakout star. Cameron is no RINO, nor did he spew pro-Trump talking points. Instead, Cameron expertly threaded the needle between the severe overpolicing seen in the horrific police killings of unarmed black people, such as George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, with the severe underpolicing of our urban centers. In short, Cameron understands that law and order means as much as protecting the private property of small-business owners riddled with rioters as it does protecting black folks who fall prey to injustice in our justice system.
