 He raised almost $1.5 million for the campaign, but approximately $700,000 of that was a loan (which was never repaid) from Henry to his own campaign.Early polls showed him at or near the head of the pack in the Democratic primary due to name recognition.However, Henry finished third in the primary with just over 60,000 votes (17%), behind Bruce Lunsford's 21% and winner Steve Beshear's 41% (over 142,000 votes) On election night Henry conceded and pledged his support to Beshear for the general election.
