It’s money, but still, significant campaign contributions can be overshadowed by even larger contributions. Today Rex Sinquefield dropped a total of a million dollars between two republican statewide candidates who are running in 2016. There were other campaign contributions of note by other individuals and entities to other entities.

Previously:

Campaign Finance: making a choice (October 15, 2014)

Campaign Finance: now we know where the rest of the million dollars went (October 15, 2014)

Today, at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C091068 10/15/2014 HOUSE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE, INC Vicky Hartzler For Congress PO Box 30080 Columbia MO 65205 10/14/2014 $20,000.00

[emphasis added]

It’s what happens when a republican incumbent in Congress doesn’t feel the need to take her opponent seriously.

And, Senator Claire McCaskill (D) continues to contribute significant money to the Missouri Democratic Party.

C000960 10/15/2014 MO DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE Claire McCaskill 1940 Spring House Dr St Louis MO 63122 United States Senate 10/15/2014 $50,000.00

[emphasis added]

That’s $490,000.00 since February, $200,000.00 in October (so far).

Governor Jay Nixon’s (D) committee has been chipping in, too.
