University of Kentucky basketball icon Richie Farmer is considering running for governor on the Republican ticket.

Farmer told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he has been in discussions about a possible run and may do some political polling in the near future.

Farmer is currently serving his second term as Agriculture Commissioner.

Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear is the only major candidate who has entered the race so far. He has chosen Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson as his running mate.
