House Speaker Greg Stumbo, a Prestonsburg Democrat, put himself on the “unlikely” list of potential candidates for governor in 2015 but was careful not to close the door completely.
At a wide-ranging news conference Friday, the Herald-Leader’s John Cheves first asked Stumbo whether he’s interested in running for governor when Gov. Steve Beshear’s term ends in 2015.
