McConnell Plans Re-Election

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has $4.25 million for a re-election campaign that's still nearly three years away. Chief of Staff Josh Holmes says McConnell will file reports with the Federal Election Commission later this month showing he raised another $1 million between October and December. In 2008  McConnell won re-election to a fifth term, becoming Kentucky's longest serving senator. McConnell spent some $20 million in that election, beating Democrat Bruce Lunsford, a wealthy Kentucky businessman, by six percentage points.
