McConnell campaign says it broke fund-raising record

When U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican Senate leader, reports his re-election fund-raising update, it will show that he's collected more than $12.2 million -- the most for a Kentucky candidate, the campaign said.

McConnell's re-election campaign, which resumed running ads last week after a two-month hiatus, will show on its forthcoming report to the Federal Election Commission that it has $7,741,421 still in the bank as of March 31, the campaign's statement said.

McConnell faces primary opposition from a GOP candidate running a limited campaign. Seven Democrats are fighting in the May 20 primary for the chance to take on McConnell in the fall.
