LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Kelly Craft reveals who she was referring to in her ‘empty chair’ campaign ad.

Craft launched her campaign for Kentucky governor in September.

In her most recent ad, Craft references a spot missing at the kitchen table due to fentanyl and other drugs. Adding the issue is personal to her as a mother.

In a speech recorded by KET on Friday, Craft reveals who she was missing at the table.

“I have a child that’s called to addiction. She’s now an adult. I thank God every day that this child made it through,” Craft said. “I have lived this, and I have done my homework.”

Craft isn’t the only candidate campaigning on drug addiction in Kentucky. Attorney General Daniel Cameron is also touting his fight to combat the opioid epidemic.
