FRANKFORT, Ky. – Investor Charles Price hosted a lucrative fundraiser for Gov. Matt Bevin a few months after the governor announced that Braidy Industries, a company at which Price is a director, would receive an unusual $15 million state investment.
Price is listed as “sponsor” of a September fundraiser that raised $68,000 for Bevin's 2015 gubernatorial campaign in reports filed Friday with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance.
The event is one of the largest fundraisers for Bevin during the past year and raised nearly 10 percent of the total amount Bevin reported raising during the past year.
