FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kelly Craft has set a fast pace for raising and spending campaign cash in her bid to become Kentucky’s governor. The former United Nations ambassador overtook her Republican rivals in fundraising. The latest campaign-finance report shows she poured more than $1 million into her campaign. Her closest fundraising rivals in the GOP primary are Attorney General Daniel Cameron and Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles. They stockpiled more cash by the end of the year than Craft. Replenishing her campaign coffers will be no problem for Craft, who can tap into her family’s wealth. So far, she has mostly resisted doing so.
