Andy Barr continues to enjoy a significant cash advantage over his likely Democratic opponent, Elisabeth Jensen, raising more than $77,000 in April. Barr, in his first term representing Central Kentucky's 6th Congressional District, has more than $1.1 million in cash on hand, but his campaign spent more than $63,000 of its April haul on fundraising and mail pieces.

The campaign said it has more than $10 million in cash on hand. When McConnell filed his first quarter report with [...]
