From Times Wire Services
FRANKFORT, Ky. —
First Lady Martha Wilkinson ended weeks of speculation about trying to succeed her husband as governor and filed papers forming a campaign committee today.
Documents for the “Martha S. Wilkinson for Governor Committee” were signed and filed with the Kentucky Registry for Election Finance.
Wilkinson had said she would consider entering the 1991 governor’s race if her husband, Gov. Wallace Wilkinson, failed to get the General Assembly to pass a constitutional amendment allowing him to succeed himself.
