Thirteen days shy of the election, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is back on the air in Kentucky.
The DSCC announced Wednesday that it has begun to advertise again on behalf of Alison Lundergan Grimes, the Democratic nominee in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race. Regardless, Grimes downplayed the group’s influence during a stop in Bowling Green.
"We have the resources necessary to run a very strong, solid campaign, but it's going to be Kentuckians who bring this race home at the end of the day," Grimes told WKU Public Radio. "Our grassroots coalition has led us to where we are and it will be Kentuckians that bring a victory home."
Democrats say the race has tightened. A Bluegrass Poll released Monday showed Grimes trailing incumbent Republican Senator Mitch McConnell by one point.
Grimes spoke to the Bowling Green Noon Rotary Club, one of seven stops planned for Wednesday in south central Kentucky. McConnell, meanwhile, is on a bus tour through the state's coal-producing counties.
