Murray, KY – Republican John Kemper has returned nearly $1,200 in contributions given to his State Auditor campaign by government officials. Kemper says he is challenging Democratic candidate Adam Edelen to do the same. The candidate believes returning the money would head off any potential conflicts of interest for the winner of the Nov. 8 election. Kemper claims Edelen has accepted nearly $75,000 in contributions from government officials that should be returned to guard against future conflicts if he's elected.
