Kentucky: Conway Loans Campaign $300,000 for Final Push

[ccharles000]

Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway (D) on Wednesday cut his Senate campaign a $300,000 check, according to his latest fundraising report filed Thursday.

Conway, who loaned his campaign over $125,000 last fall, decided to pull out his check book again during a week in which two new independent polls showed him trailing Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo (D) with two weeks to go before the May 18 primary.

A Lexington Herald-Leader poll on Wednesday showed Conway down 7 points while a Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday showed Conway trailing by 9 points.

An internal campaign poll released by Mongiardo on Wednesday showed the lieutenant governor up by 12 points. The Conway camp countered with its own poll which showed the attorney general leading by 6 points.
