'We continue to see excitement and momentum for Amy McGrath in the homestretch of the election,' campaign manager Dan Kanninen said in a statement.
Amy McGrath address supporters after her loss during her Election Night Event at the EKU Center for the Arts on November 6, 2018 in Richmond, Kentucky. McGrath is now running for Senate, and has a hefty warchest of cash going up against Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.Kentucky Democrat Amy McGrath has set a new campaign record for fundraising in August, adding to her impressive war chest heading into the final weeks of her Senate campaign against Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
"We continue to see excitement and momentum for Amy McGrath in the homestretch of the election," campaign manager Dan Kanninen said in a statement."After 36 years of Mitch McConnell working for D.C. special interests and lobbyists while leaving Kentucky behind, Kentuckians are demanding change."In total, the Marine Corps veteran has raked in more than $50 million in donations. McConnell, the top Republican in the Senate, last reported having raised $36.
While McGrath is bringing in more money, she's been slightly down in the polls. The latest survey, courtesy of Quinnipiac University, found her trailing McConnell by 5 percentage points. Of the 900 registered voters polled, 49 percent backed McConnell compared with 44 percent who supported McGrath. The survey had a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points.
McGrath has made some shake-ups to her campaign, including appointing Kanninen as campaign manager, after a closer-than-anticipated Democratic primary in late June. McGrath just staved off a late, a progressive Black state lawmaker, to win the nomination by less than 17,000 votes. "My message to anyone who voted in the primary, whether they voted for me or for someone else, is I hear you. I want change too," McGrath
