The campaign announced its steering committee today, consisting of more than a hundred leaders that have endorsed the senator from New York.

The committee's co-state chairs include such notables as former Governors Wendell Ford, John Brown, Paul Patton, and Julian Carroll as well as former Attorney General and State Rep. Greg Stumbo.

"We are honored to have the support of so many respected community leaders throughout Kentucky, all dedicated to making Hillary successful in Tuesday's primary," State Director Jonathan Hurst said in a statement.

Former state Democratic Party Chairman Jerry Lundergan will serve as the committee's state chairman.
