(WBKO) &#8211; For the first time in its history, the Capitol Theatre hosted a sitting governor Tuesday evening as Governor Andy Beshear visited Bowling Green on his latest book tour stop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Beshear met with community members to discuss his debut book, \u201cGo and Do Likewise.\u201d The book explores his faith, his time leading the commonwealth, and his philosophy of compassionate politics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">During his remarks, Beshear stressed unity across the American political landscape and urged Kentuckians to make their voices heard at the ballot box this November.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIf we would just spend 80% of our time on things that matter to 100% of people, the idea that if we improve in any of those areas, we lift everyone up and we leave no one out, we get a lot more done,\u201d Beshear said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Beshear also called on attendees to lead with empathy heading into election season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe\u2019ve been reminded of who we are as Americans, that we can better support each other, and that we recognize that kindness is never a weakness,\u201d Beshear said. \u201cAnd I hope each and every one of you enjoys the book. I hope it gives you a little bit of hope. And I hope it gives you the encouragement to stand up, to speak out, and this November, let\u2019s send a message.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The nationwide book tour is scheduled to wrap up Oct. 23 in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" fetchpriority=\"low\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"dfb\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1790744529_655_EVKYGGIYLNE4VENWPWOZEJKTMY.png\" width=\"980\" height=\"362\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 WBKO.
