…Clint worked for Teamsters Local 688 in the St. Louis area before he was elected Treasurer…

Organized labor (working people!), attorneys, a few PACs here and there, some bank interests (after all, he is the State Treasurer), few business interests, and a significant number of current and former members of the General Assembly and current and former Democratic office holders. Those last groups say a lot.

Let’s take a look at some of the expenditures:

[emphasis added]

Fundraising expenses, a bit of travel, office expenses. That is a significantly low burn rate.

I don’t think anyone ran into the Lieutenant Governor in the lobby of the Hampton Inn, do you?
