September 15 Bluegrass Poll debate
September 15, 2015Curtis participated, along with Matt Bevin (R) and Jack Conway (D), in the Bluegrass Poll debate at Bellarmine University, the first televised debate in the gubernatorial race. The debate took place on September 15, 2015, and was sponsored by the four media partners behind the Bluegrass Poll: WHAS11, the Courier-Journal, WKYT and the Lexington Herald Leader.
Curtis took shots at both major party opponents, drawing audience laughter with lines such as "I think you're both wrong" and "I'll actually answer this question."
Questions surrounding controversial Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis dominated the debate. Curtis said on the issue of compliance with Obergefell v. Hodges, "At the end of the day people who volunteer to serve their government must do their jobs -- period."
