Maddox joins Attorney General Daniel Cameron, Commissioner of Agriculture Ryan Quarles, and State Auditor Mike Harmon in a packed GOP race for the nomination. She's the ninth Republican to announce a gubernatorial run in the 2023 race. Democrat Andy Beshear has already announced plans to run for re-election.
The filing comes hours before Maddox planned a "big announcement" for Monday evening.
