Steve Beshear Biography

Steve Beshear served as the 61st Governor of Kentucky from 2007 to 2015. Before his governorship, he had an extensive career in public service, serving as Attorney General from 1979 to 1983, Lieutenant Governor from 1983 to 1987, and as a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives from 1974 to 1979.

During his tenure as Governor, Beshear significantly expanded the Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and launched the Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange, initiatives that provided coverage to over 500,000 Kentuckians and reduced the state’s uninsured rate from over 20% to 8%. His administration also led Kentucky through the historic recession, positioning the state as a leader in job creation. Under his leadership, Kentucky’s unemployment rate dropped from 10.7% to 4.9%, with the state setting export records four years in a row and announcing almost 2,300 new and expansion projects.

Beshear's contributions to education were notable, raising Kentucky’s dropout age from 16 to 18 and improving the state’s high school graduation rates to place it among the top ten in the nation. The college/career readiness rate also rose from 32% to 64% during his tenure. For these efforts, he was named the Education Governor of the Year by the National Education Association. Beshear is the author of "People Over Politics", a book focused on improving government functionality. After his governorship, he continued to contribute to public service education, serving as a Menschel Senior Leadership Fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health and as a Visiting Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics in 2017.

Steve Beshear Speaking Topics

Politics

Here I discuss how rank partisanship is destroying our federal political system. But it doesn't have to be this way. During my eight years as Kentucky's Democratic Governor, the Kentucky Senate was controlled by Republicans, while the House was controlled by Democrats. But most of the time, after elections were over, I was able to get both sides to remember that we were Kentuckians first and Democrats and Republicans second. Therefore, we accomplished some great things for our people.

Healthcare

Where do we go from here? I discuss Kentucky's poor health history and how I implemented the ACA and expanded Medicaid in a red state. I then turn to what the future holds for healthcare in the United States.

Leadership

Leaders are made, not born. Being a leader is one part talent and nine parts hard work. Using examples from my personal and political life, I discuss the skills it takes to be a leader (including the willingness to take a risk and the willingness to lose), and how to turn those skills into actual results.
