Fundraising For Governor Better Since Charges Dropped
Frankfort - Gov. Ernie Fletcher has raised just more than $1 million for his re-election campaign, according to a report filed Wednesday with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance. That includes $722,815 raised since July 1.
Fletcher said his fundraising was "going well" since August, when state prosecutors agreed to a deal that dropped misdemeanor charges against him of alleged official misconduct, political discrimination and conspiracy. The charges were part of an investigation into allegations that his administration illegally doled out jobs to political supporters.
