Two weeks before the Nov. 7 Kentucky gubernatorial election, incumbent Gov. Andy Beshear’s (D) campaign had raised nearly three times and spent more than four times the amount Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R) had since the May 16 primaries, according to the most recent campaign finance reports filed on Oct. 25.
The reports, filed with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance, showed the Beshear campaign raised $850K in the period between Oct. 8 and Oct. 23., while Cameron raised $481K in the same period.
Including the most recent numbers, the Beshear campaign had raised around $11M since the May 16 primaries. Beshear, who did not face a competitive primary, also rolled nearly $6M from his primary campaign to his general election effort, bringing his campaign’s fundraising total in the general election to $17.3M. These numbers do not include “in-kind” contributions.
