The distribution:
Contributions to Eric Greitens’ (r) 2016 gubernatorial campaign for the third quarter – from the campaign’s October quarterly campaign finance report filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
The contribution listed as $20,074.54 is from the item reporting the aggregate of contributions $100.00 or less from individuals (line 13).
Interestingly, most of Eric Greitens’ (r) contributions came from out of state:
The distribution of Out of State and Missouri contributions to Eric Greitens’ (r) 2016 gubernatorial campaign for the third quarter – from the campaign’s October quarterly campaign finance report filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
Those out of state individuals (and entities) can’t vote in the August 2016 primary.
Over 80% of the total contributed this quarter came in amounts of $5,000.00 or more.
The distribution of contributions $5000.00 and OVER, and contributions UNDER $5,000.00 to Eric Greitens’ (r) 2016 gubernatorial campaign for the third quarter – from the campaign’s October quarterly campaign finance report filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
Close to two thirds of the amount raised came in contributions of $25,000.00 or higher. There was a single contribution of a half a million dollars. This is not new in Missouri politics, nor is it particularly indicative of a populist surge within the state – the three largest contributions came from out of state.
The campaign made $262,505.78 in monetary disbursements this quarter. Some of the expenditures:

From the following http://themissouritimes.com/23062/greitens-speaks-to-students-at-mizzou/
Here is Greitens (10/2/15) on his fundraising:
While Greitens has raised plenty of cash in Missouri, nearly 70 percent of his donations have come from outside the state as recently as early September, according to analysis by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Greitens disputes that.
“We are funded by Missourians and we actually have conservative investors all over Missouri and all over the country who are investing in this race,” Greitens said. “So the facts are, one, we have raised more money in Missouri than all of our other opponents, two we have more donors in Missouri than all of our other opponents.” He added there were definitely supporters from around the country invested in this race since it is such a high-profile election.*
OK, but…………….
He does not dispute the fact that the vast majority of the money comes from outside Missouri.
However, when you consider how much Hanaway has from Sinquefield, I question whether his first statement is true. I’m shocked to think a Navy SEAL might lie.
Maybe it depends on what your definition of “Opponent” is.
Is that even true? Hasn’t Gangway raised more money in Missouri than Greitens?
Is the claim about total number of contributors from Missouri true?
Gangway is an appropriate way to refer to Hanaway.
