State Republicans have on-hand cash advantage

With over four months remaining before the general election, Kentucky's Republican fundraising committees are showing a decided fundraising advantage over their Democratic counterparts.

Polwatchers reports the Republican Party of Kentucky is sitting on over $1.1 million in on-hand cash as of the end of May. The Democratic Party of Kentucky, meanwhile, is holding less than a quarter of that figure, with over $234,000 in the bank.

The major advantage shown by the RPK gives state Republicans a boost, though Democrats are ahead in cash among state legislative fundraising organizations. The House Democratic Caucus Committee holds over $125,000 in funds, ahead of the Democrats' Senate equivalent and state Republicans' House and Senate organizations.

The Senate Democratic Caucus holds just over $10,000, while the Republicans Senate organization has over $86,000.

The House Republican Caucus Committee has over $20,000.

Total funds available among all the Republican committees amount to $1,256,967.51.

All Democratic committees combined are holding $371,220.58.
