Kentucky Primary Race Draws Millions in Outside Spending

A Kentucky congressional primary race has drawn millions of dollars in spending from outside organizations. The contest features a sitting representative facing challengers supported by groups including AIPAC and the Republican Jewish Coalition.

A representative stated confidence that Kentucky voters understand the spending as an effort by Israel to influence the election outcome. The same representative said AIPAC and the Republican Jewish Coalition are directing millions into the primary race.

The comments came as outside groups increased their financial involvement in the contest. No specific dollar amounts or dates for the spending were provided in the statements.
