Previously: 26th Senate District: As if there’s any difference? (February 26, 2014)
It appears that Senator Brian Nieves (r) has drawn a primary. At 4:03 p.m. yesterday Representative Dave Schatz (r), who was first elected in the 61st Legislative District in 2010 (and not yet subject to term limits), filed as a candidate in the 26th Senate District, challenging Senator Nieves (r) in the primary….
….As if there’s any substantive difference between the two?
Today, at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

[emphasis added]
A quarter of a million dollars – now that’s a really serious commitment.
This is going to be a very interesting republican primary to watch. Pass the popcorn.
In a world where political reporting centered on actual issues and where funding comes from, this would be a BFD!
It would appear Nieves has pissed off some real important people in the Republican establishment That is a story.
Who will report it first?
