Kentucky Democrats Rake In Campaign Cash, Thanks To Steve Beshear's Appointees.
Democrats raise $300,000 in September
The Kentucky Democratic Party reported late Thursday it got nearly $300,000 in contributions during September.
And the party’s report filed with the Federal Election Commission shows more big contributions from Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear’s appointees to state boards.
The report shows that Robert W. Rounsavall, chairman of Dixie Real Properties and a Beshear appointee to the University of Louisville Board of Trustees, contributed $5,000 to the party on Sept. 7. Rounsavall had previously given $5,000 to the party this year, so the September contribution got him up to the $10,000 maximum allowed by law.
Also Joyce Hughes, a Murray doctor, gave $10,000. Beshear campaign reports identify her as the wife of Robert Hughes, whom Beshear appointed to the U of L Board. Robert Hughes had given his maximum $10,000 to the Democratic party earlier this year.
And the report shows that Anita P. Johnson, of Pikeville, whom Beshear appointed to the Eastern Kentucky University Board, also gave $10,000 to the Democrats in September.
Three members of the Swartz family of Bath County, owners of companies that bid on road contracts, combined to give $30,000.
Twelve employees of Mountain Enterprises, who each gave $1,000 to the Beshear campaign over the summer, also gave $1,000 each in September to the Democratic Party.
Others who gave $10,000 during September to the Democrats were: Roy Glenn Collins, Manchester, attorney; Jack Sykes, Pikeville, engineer; John Cooper, Georgetown, lobbyist; Thomas Potter, Robinson Creek, of Hawkeye Construction; and John Mitchell Potter, Robinson Creek, the chief executive of JMP Holdings.
The report showed the Democratic Party spent $395,660 during September, and had $371,910 on hand at the end of the month.
Democrats file monthly reports with the FEC. But the agency allows parties to file either monthly or twice a year. The Kentucky Republican Party has chosen to file twice a year, so it will not disclose its finances for the second half of this year until January.
Editor's comment: Steve Beshear is NOT doing anything that his predecessors have not done before him, or his successors will not do after him.
