Women candidates are stepping up in the Purchase running for the Kentucky General Assembly. One of their biggest problems is - what else - raising money. Maybe supporters are having problems figuring out how, where, how much to donate?
Here's how and where to send checks or donate on the web. At the end of the story are some links to help maneuver this election cycle. No color photos. We wanted to make this story easy and cheap to print out.
