DSCC Back On The Air In Support Of Grimes

After going dark in Kentucky on October 10th, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is electing to return to the airwaves.

Analysts debated the significance of the committee’s previous decision not to purchase any airtime in support of Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes in the final weeks of the campaign, but now the group says it plans to rejoin the fight, telling Politico it will soon purchase $650,000 worth of airtime in Kentucky.

Manu Raju, a senior congressional reporter with the publication, says the DSCC made the decision after “reviewing recent internal and public polling.”

With Republicans outpacing Democrats on ad spending in the state and a recent Bluegrass Poll showing Sen. Mitch McConnell taking a slim one point lead over Grimes, Democrats are looking to make a final push with less than two weeks to go.

Josh James fell in love with college radio at Western Kentucky University's student station, New Rock 92 (now Revolution 91.7). After working as a DJ and program director, he knew he wanted to come home to Lexington and try his hand in public radio.
