Raises $12.2M in Second Quarter; $16.6M on Hand

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky — McConnell Senate Committee campaign manager Kevin Golden today released the following statement on Team Mitch’s second quarter fundraising haul, which is nearly twice as much as the campaign’s record-breaking Q1 total:

“Each quarter brings a new fundraising record for Team Mitch thanks to the tremendous grassroots support from across the Bluegrass. Chuck Schumer and the Washington Democratic establishment are pouring millions of dollars into Amy McGrath’s doomed campaign, but no amount of money can buy McGrath the support of a majority of Kentuckians. It’s obvious that McGrath would abandon Kentucky to rubber-stamp Chuck Schumer’s far-left, anti-Kentucky agenda. Senator McConnell is the leader Kentuckians can count on to deliver for our Commonwealth, and that’s why Kentuckians are ready to reelect him in November.”
