Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission for Teresa Hensley’s (D) 2016 campaign for Attorney General:
C151147 08/26/2016 TERESA HENSLEY FOR MISSOURI Western Missouri and Kansas Laborers District Council PAC 8500 Ward Pkwy Kansas City MO 64114 8/25/2016 $25,000.00

C151147 08/26/2016 TERESA HENSLEY FOR MISSOURI Simmons Hanly Conroy LLC 1 Court St Alton IL 62002 8/26/2016 $20,000.00

Working people and people who need to have an Attorney General’s office which actually works. That says a lot.
