Kentucky Supreme Court candidate Pamela Goodwine increased her already-massive fundraising advantage over opponent Erin Izzo in the past month, with the help of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Bloomberg contributed $150,000 on Sept. 30 to Liberty & Justice for Kentucky, a political action committee that intends to spend heavily on ads supporting Goodwine.
Liberty & Justice for Kentucky’s filing with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance this week showed it has raised $375,000 in recent weeks, including $200,000 from the PAC of the Louisville teacher’s union. It also raised $25,000 from Emily Bingham and Stephen Reilly, a married couple in Louisville.
The campaign of Goodwine, who is currently serving in her second term as a judge on the Kentucky Court of Appeals, has also raised more than six times that of Izzo, a Frankfort attorney.
Goodwine’s campaign has raised $313,503, while Izzo has only raised roughly $7,000 from contributors, in addition to $40,000 in funding from herself.
The judge’s campaign and the PAC supporting Goodwine have collectively raised $688,503 over the course of the campaign, nearly 15 times that of Izzo.
