Will wonders never cease?

Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission from a very reliable past benefactor of the republican party on behalf of a PAC supporting a referendum to overturn the ant-abortion HB 126:

C190866 06/07/2019 Committee to Protect the Rights of Victims of Rape & Incest David Humphreys PO Box 4050 Joplin MO 64803 Tamko Holdings, Inc. Chairman and CEO 6/6/2019 $1,000,000.00

[emphasis added]

You read that right.

The PAC is brand new:

Committee Type: Campaign
Po Box 794
Jefferson City Mo 65102
Established Date: 05/30/2019
