Former Republican Senate challenger Matt Bevin said it's likely he'll run for governor in 2015.
 
The Louisville businessman has been traveling the state raising money for state House Republican candidates after losing the Republican Senate primary to Sen. Mitch McConnell.
 
Bevin told The Associated Press he hasn't ruled out running for governor and, if anything, it's more likely. Republican Agriculture Commissioner James Comer announced his candidacy last week and former Republican Louisville Metro Councilman Hal Heiner announced his candidacy in March. And former U.S. Ambassador Cathy Bailey is also considering a run.
 
Republican state Rep. Russell Webber said Bevin would be competitive in a four-way race but said some of Bevin's mistakes in the Senate race could come back to haunt him.
