C111215 10/29/2016 FRIENDS OF CALEB ROWDEN Central Missouri Senate Republican PAC PO Box 144 Jefferson City MO 65102 10/27/2016 $185,000.00

[emphasis added]

$295,000.00 in one day, right before the election. For a state senate seat. For a backbencher:

That’s a significant amount of money to promote a backbencher in the House with no significant legislative achievements (well, okay he thinks he does) to the Senate.

Update:

The propping up continues. Today:

C111215 10/30/2016 FRIENDS OF CALEB ROWDEN Missouri Senate Campaign Committee PO Box 754 Jefferson City MO 65102 10/28/2016 $300,000.00

[emphasis added]

Nothing exceeds like excess.
