Former Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron appointed CEO of nonprofit

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The former Kentucky Attorney General who ran for governor last fall took a new position.

Daniel Cameron was appointed as the chief executive officer of 1792 Exchange. Cameron served as the 51st Attorney General for the state for the past four years.

1792 Exchange is a nonprofit that develops policy and resources to protect organizations from "woke" corporations, educate officials about the dangers of environment, social and governance policies and help lead public companies in the U.S. on ideological issues to serve shareholders, according to its website.

"I’m honored to serve as the CEO of the 1792 Exchange, where I will continue meaningful work to put an end to the anti-American ESG agenda that threatens to take over our corporations and change the fabric of our country," Cameron said in a news release. "We will shine a bright light on those whose ideological agendas seek to dismantle American freedom and prosperity. We will stop investment management firms, elected officials, and corporate interests from using other people’s money to advance their radical political agendas."

Nathan Estruth, founder of Exchange, said the nonprofit's goal is to help corporations move back toward neutral on ideological issues.

"I simply cannot imagine a more capable and qualified chief executive to help us safeguard free exercise, free speech, and free enterprise," Estruth said in a news release.
