Amy McGrath, who is running for the Democratic Party's nomination to face Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), out-raised the Republican in the leadup to the primaries in the Bluegrass State's Senate race.
McGrath's campaign reported in a filing with the Federal Election Commission that it raised $11.3 million from April 1-June 3 and currently has $19.3 million in the bank. McConnell's campaign reported hauling in $7.2 million in the same time period and is sitting on $15.4 million.
Both candidates spent about $6.7 million in the roughly two-month span.
State Rep. Charles Booker, who is challenging McGrath in the Democratic primary and has recently garnered increased attention, reported raising about $476,000 and has roughly $285,000 in the bank.

"Amy has beat Mitch's funding from deep-pocket special interests with donations from Kentuckians in all 120 counties and an average donation of $37," McGrath's campaign said in a statement Friday.
"She's built a grassroots team from the ground up that is capable of going toe-to-toe with Mitch in the fall."

(63,221 posts)I want him out in the worst way. I know it's a longshot, but we have beaten the odds before and Mitch is not a popular senator. If you can, please throw a few dollars her way, even if it's only $5.00. Every little bit helps.
Mitch has to go. Besides Trump, that is the one person we absolutely have to defeat.

(149,639 posts)I've been sending her donations since her first run in KY. And I agree: MoscowMitch has to go. He is more evil than tRump, I think. He's been doing this evil stuff a lot longer.
