Jefferson Circuit Judge Jim Shake is now outraising Lisabeth Abramson in their Supreme Court race. And Katie King has raised more than double the amount of money as David Holton in their district judge race.

The latest reports filed with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance shows Shake raised $43,000 over the first two-and-a-half weeks of October, compared to Abramson's $17,000.

Shake has now outraised Abramson $164K to $143K over the course of the election.

In one Jefferson district judge race, David Holton raised $5000 more than Katie King in the first days of October. But King still leads in total monies raised $101,000 to $43,000. King is the daughter of Metro Council President Jim King. She's been the focus of stories regarding her behavior. Holton is legally blind and was appointed to the bench by Governor Beshear.
