$65,000 for Senate race

STAFF, WIRE REPORTS

Democrat Jodie Haydon raised more than twice as much as his Republican opponent for state Senate.

Documents filed with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance show Haydon took in $64,855 while Republican Jimmy Higdon raised $31,655.

The two are running in a special election to replace former state Sen. Dan Kelly, who resigned when Gov. Steve Beshear appointed him as a circuit judge.

The election is Dec. 8. The race is considered key in a push by Beshear to sway the Senate's balance of power to improve his odds of getting a bill passed expand gambling in Kentucky.
