Former Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear endorses Hillary Clinton for U.S. President.

In a release Tuesday Beshear says he supports the Democratic presidential frontrunner for her work in health care reform and expanding health care to the uninsured. 

Citing her work in creating the Children’s Health Insurance Program,  Beshear said "Given the battle playing out over health care access in Kentucky, we need a leader and ally in the White House who understands the importance of fighting for health care."

According to healthcare.gov, the program provides low-cost coverage to children in families that earn too much to qualify for Medicaid.

The Kentucky Primary is May 17.
