CUNA said its political action committee, CULAC, filed notice with the FEC of a $300,000 independent expenditure on behalf of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in his re-election campaign, the trade group told CU Times Sept. 18.

McConnell is locked in a tight race against Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D-Ky.). If the current minority leader wins his midterm bid, and Republicans win a majority of Senate seats, McConnell would presumably become majority leader, setting the Senate's agenda.

CULAC has already donated $10,000 to McConnell's campaign as well as $10,000 to his leadership PAC, according to Trey Hawkins, CUNA vice president of political affairs.
