From Courier-Journal:
Senate President David Williams and Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer, running as a slate in next year’s governor’s race, took in about $500,000 this week at a Lexington fundraiser, according to their campaign manager.
Williams and Farmer are seeking the Republican nomination to oppose Gov. Steve Beshear and his running mate for lieutenant governor, Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson.
The fundraiser, their first, was held at Lexington’s Donamire Farm, owned by Lexington developers Don and Mira Ball.
It likely was the highest-grossing event in a state election since the law limited contributions to $1,000 per person in each election beginning in 1995.
