There’s a brand spanking new republican PAC funded by some recognizable names in Missouri republican circles.
Yesterday, at the Missouri Ethics Commission:
C131183 02/11/2014 CITIZENS FOR A STRONGER MISSOURI David Spence 7733 Forsyth Blvd St Louis MO 63105 Self 2/11/2014 $10,000.00
C131183 02/11/2014 CITIZENS FOR A STRONGER MISSOURI William Holekamp Revocable Trust 5 Barclay Woods St Louis MO 63105 Holekamp Capital President 2/11/2014 $10,000.00
[emphasis added]
That David Spence?
Why is it no one ever names their PAC “Corporations For A Weaker Missouri”. Just asking.
The committee:

Yes, they’re new. They must have filed a fourth quarter 2013 campaign finance report.
Why, yes, they did. And they didn’t have a huge amount of money in the bank:
