Those are respectable amounts.

The contributions:

Well, the non-itemized small contributions are nonexistent.

There were 47 itemized contributions for a total of $113,875.00. That’s an average of $2,422.87 per contribution, quite close to the $2,600.00 maximum allowed per election. 40 of the 47 contributions reported this quarter were for $2,600.00.

That’ ain’t particularly grass roots.

At the Missouri Ethics Commission:

[….]
On November 8, 2016, Missouri voters approved Constitutional Amendment 2 which, among its provisions, imposes campaign contribution limits on certain candidates for state office including statewide offices, legislative offices and judicial offices.
[….]
… the effective date is December 8, 2016…
[….]
Section 23, subsection 3(1), provides a contribution limit of $2,600 from any person, other than the candidate, to elect individuals to state office for “one” election.

July in west central Missouri.

July in west central Missouri.

The last complete campaign finance report for RSLC [Republican State Leadership Committee]-Missouri PAC, via the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C051039: Rslc-Missouri Pac
Committee Type: Political Action
1201 F Street Nw Ste 675
Washington Dc 20004
Established Date: 02/10/2005
[….]
Information Reported On: 2015 – January Quarterly Report
Beginning Money on Hand $84.75
Monetary Receipts + $500.00
Monetary Expenditures – $113.00
Contributions Made – $0.00
Other Disbursements – $0.00
Subtotal $387.00
Ending Money On Hand $471.75

[emphasis added]

$84.75? You’ve got to be kidding. The reports filed since this one were “limited activity” reports.

Then, today:

C051039 09/23/2016 RSLC-MISSOURI PAC Republican State Leadership Committee 1201 F Street, NW Suite 675 Washington DC 20004 9/22/2016 $200,000.00

[emphasis added]

And quick as that:

C091129 09/23/2016 PARSON FOR MISSOURI RSLC – Missouri PAC 1201 F Street NW Suite 675 Washington DC 20004 9/22/2016 $200,000.00

[emphasis added]

Who’s paying for this?

There’s an RSLC PAC listed at the Federal Election Commission with the same address which hasn’t filed anything since 2012.

So much for transparency. And because there are no limits in Missouri, evidently republican PACs just like to dump their money here.
