McConnell foe expected to get boost from liberal Hollywood donors

An early rush of celebrity fundraising help for Kentucky Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) is fueling expectations she will become the next big thing for Hollywood liberals eager to make a splash on the national political stage.

Mega-producer Jeffrey Katzenberg said in a recent email to his network of Democratic donors that there’s “no more important election being held next year in this country” than the Kentucky Senate race, and pop giant will.i.am will appear at Lundergan Grimes’s first Kentucky fundraiser in a few weeks.

Katzenberg urged his friends to support the Kentucky secretary of state when she makes a late September swing through California.

Kentucky Democrats say the celebrity fundraisers are likely the first of many assists Lundergan Grimes will get from stars eager to topple Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R).
