2012, campaign finance, Cynthia Davis, Lieutenant Governor, missouri, Missouri Ethics Commission, Peter Kinder, Susan Montee
Today’s the day that October quarterly campaign finance reports are due at the Missouri Ethics Commission. In the Lieutenant Governor race we’re taking a look at the reports for Susan Montee (D), Peter Kinder (r), and, just for kicks, Cynthia Davis (whatever).
First, the summary for Susan Montee (D):
REPORT SUMMARY
MONTEE FOR MISSOURI [pdf] 10/15/20121. Total Receipts For This Election Previously Reported $911,817.87
2. All Monetary Contributions Received This Period $125,510.27
8. Total All Receipts This Election $1,037,328.14
27. Money On Hand at the close of this reporting period $270,117.38
34. Total Indebtedness at the Close of This Reporting Period $505,000.00
[emphasis added]
That’s decent cash on hand. The campaign indebtedness is a definite “ouch”.
The summary for Peter Kinder (r), the tweeting, hotel staying, and other interesting things incumbent:
REPORT SUMMARY
FRIENDS OF PETER KINDER [pdf] 10/15/20121. Total Receipts For This Election Previously Reported $3,989,554.83
2. All Monetary Contributions Received This Period $279,778.00
8. Total All Receipts This Election $4,273,615.60
14. Total Expenditures This Election $2,379,950.13
27. Money On Hand at the close of this reporting period $267,911.03
34. Total Indebtedness at the Close of This Reporting Period $43,086.01
[emphasis added]
You’ve just gotta love those nasty (but true) republican primaries, flushing millions of dollars down the republican campaign consultant industrial complex. The cash on hand is roughly at parity.
The summary for Cynthia Davis (whatever):
REPORT SUMMARY
ELECT CYNTHIA DAVIS [pdf] 10/5/20121. Total Receipts For This Election Previously Reported $31,913.67
2. All Monetary Contributions Received This Period $5,345.12
8. Total All Receipts This Election $37,298.91
14. Total Expenditures This Election $18,827.93
27. Money On Hand at the close of this reporting period $12,684.89
34. Total Indebtedness at the Close of This Reporting Period $30,000.00
Heh. That’s less than 1% of the total raised by the republican incumbent. You’d think…
Some of the interesting contributions:

Yeah, there are some high dollar (not as high as the republican incumbent) contributions, but there are a significant number of small dollar contributions. Organized labor (working people!) and attorneys have kicked in to Susan Montee’s campaign, too.
