Alison Lundergan Grimes Beats Mitch McConnell In First Quarter Fundraising
10/15/2013
Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes outraised Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in the first quarter, raking in over $2.5 million for her campaign to unseat the five-term senator.
Grimes' campaign boasted in a press release on Tuesday that her fundraising success over McConnell comes during his "strongest fundraising quarter to date." McConnell raised $2.27 million [ http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/senate-races/328037-mcconnell-raised-227m-in-3rd-quarter-biggest-to-date ] during the same July through September period.
Grimes, Kentucky's secretary of state, hopes to defeat McConnell in what is shaping up to be a battering campaign. Democrats have made McConnell a top target in the 2014 midterm elections.
According to the release from Grimes' campaign, her first quarter fundraising represents donations from about 13,000 unique contributors -- more than double the number of unique contributors to McConnell's campaign.
Regardless of her advantage in the last quarter, Grimes still trails McConnell in cash on hand [ http://www.dailyjournal.net/view/story/9c3f3a31a8de40c1824abe4f168dbeb4/KY--Kentucky-Senate-Fundraising/ ]. McConnell, who had a head start in fundraising, has $10 million cash on hand compared to Grimes' $2 million.
