5. When He Put His Constituents First
This may sound insane, but there are governors right now who deliberately do not accept help from the United States government (*cough cough* the richest nation in the world) due to political differences with the current party in power. For example, when Texas was trounced by a category five hurricane, Governor Greg Abbott decided he wouldn’t be in Texas to help his constituents, instead he was over in Asia on an “official trip.” The Biden administration literally could not give the man money because they couldn’t get ahold of him amid the earliest category five hurricane on record. He finally did nearly a week after the storm hit, but by then thousands of families were struggling to live since a heat wave swept through the same areas the hurricane hit a week prior. 
Now let’s talk about Beshear, who in just one year, from Dec. 2021 to Dec. 2022 had to deal with tornadoes ripping through the west, floods streaming across the east and a blizzard that covered the state in ice. Through it all, Beshear worked closely with state and federal agencies, no matter their political differences, to make sure Kentuckians were safe. Reaching across the aisle isn’t always so bad.
