Beshear fundraises for Groob and Boswell tonight

Gov. Steve Beshear (D-Lexington) will maintain a busy schedule this evening, hitting fundraisers in both Louisville and Owensboro, according to reports.

Pat Crowley of the Kentucky Enquirer reports Beshear will host a fundraiser for 23rd state Senate district candidate Kathy Groob (D-Covington) at Louisville's 21C Museum Hotel this evening.

Groob is engaged in an expensive battle for the northern Kentucky district held by state Sen. Jack Westwood (R-Crescent Springs), with Polwatchers recently reporting that Groob has already spent over $186,000 in the race to Westwood's nearly $62,000.

Beshear is scheduled to be in Owensboro tonight for an event benefitting another Democratic candidate - state Sen. David Boswell (D-Owensboro), who is seeking the 2nd Congressional District seat against Republican state Sen. Brett Guthrie, of Bowling Green.

The Governor will be joined by a list of fellow event hosts including former Gov. Wendell Ford, and state Reps. Jim Glenn (D-Owensboro) and Tommy Thompson (D-Owensboro), according to Owen Covington of the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer.

The event is scheduled for The Springs Conference Center, and begins at 7pm CST.
