The list released yesterday of current and former elected officials endorsing Louisville businessman Greg Fischer's candidacy for the U.S. Senate includes one official receiving a stipend from Fischer's campaign.

Campbell County Democratic Party chairman Ken Mullikin was included in the campaign's list of endorsers yesterday. During April, Mullikin also received over $3,600 from the Fischer campaign.

Fischer spokesman Ken Shapero confirmed Mullikin is "paid a stipend" by the campaign for his role as a regional coordinator for the Fischer.

Shapero also claimed Mullikin's support of Fischer came before he received funds from the campaign.

"He is working for our campaign," said Shapero. "But, I think the endorsement came first...The fact of the matter is that he supports Greg."
