Andy Beshear plans to publish his first book this fall, joining a slew of potential Democratic presidential candidates releasing memoirs that could set up future national campaigns. The book, set to publish Sept. 22, will focus on Beshear’s Christian faith — a topic he often brings up amid Democrats’ debates about how to broaden their appeal and take back power. Some Democrats have worked to center their faith and push back on the GOP’s message that it is the party of Christian values. “By regrounding faith in compassion and kindness, he believes we can start to heal as a country,” the publisher added. On his South Carolina tour, he said he’s a “proud pro-LBGTQ+ governor” and used his faith to explain his position to voters.
