Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].
Air wars: Hawley flies on lobbyist’s plane after blasting McCaskill
Missouri’s Senate candidates duke it out over whose flights are more unsavory.
By BURGESS EVERETT and ELANA SCHOR 10/20/2018 09:45 AM EDT
Sure enough, we went directly to Josh Hawley’s (r) October 2018 Federal Election Commission [FEC] campaign finance report and there it is:
Travis Brown and Kelly Brown each contributed $2612.50, in kind, dated September 24, 2018 to Josh Hawley’s (r) U.S. Senate campaign. The memo on the contribution report states: “In Kind: Air Charter 9-20-18”
Well, slap my face and call me a republican lobbyist, I’d never consider such a thing possible, given Josh Hawley’s, you know, lack of insider contacts and his apparent aversion to air travel.
Gee, they’re both “self employed” in the “government relations” business. “Government relations” is FEC report talk for “lobbyist”. Charter plane flights not always included.
Travis Brown, Travis Brown…wait a minute, we’ve run into that name before. At the Missouri Ethics Commision [lobbying search]:
Principal: PELOPIDAS, LLC 1034 S. BRENTWOOD BLVD, STE 1700 SAINT LOUIS , MO 63117 […]
Lobbyist: Travis Brown 1034 S. Brentwood Blvd, Ste 1700 Saint Louis , MO 63117 […]
Why, that’s the same address listed for the in-kind contributions to Josh Hawley (r) in the FEC report. Go figure.
It’s not like a lobbyist’s plane hasn’t been an issue in the past:
Today’s Republican Floor Leader co-owns plane with Lobbyist story is (January 16, 2009)
A Plane, a Business, a Representative, and a Lobbyist (January 18, 2009)
A Plane, a Business, a Representative, and a Lobbyist, part 2 (January 19, 2009)
A Plane, a Business, a Representative, and a Lobbyist, part 3 (January 22, 2009)
It’s plane what isn’t going to happen this year when it comes to ethics reform in Jefferson City (December 31, 2009)
We’re fairly certain this is not the aircraft in question – we couldn’t find the registration number on it.
Though it does make an apt metaphor for the blatant hypocrisy inherent in Josh Hawley’s (r) campaign rhetoric.
The more things change, the more they remain the same, and the very same republicans show up with their plane.
* it’s okay if you’re a republican

They’re all in.
The same people from Maryland who maxed out with individual contributions to Josh Hawley’s ladder climbing U.S. Senate campaign dropped $500,000.00 on a PAC which is paying for right wingnut door hangers distributed in Warrensburg, Missouri.
Interestingly, these individuals didn’t contribute to Josh Hawley’s (r) 2016 campaign for Attorney General. We looked.
Welcome to campaign finance in 21st Century America.

Apparently there are attack ads already running in the republican gubernatorial primary. I’m shocked I tell you, shocked.
John Brunner’s (r) gubernatorial campaign released the following statement today:
News from the Trail
Statement on “LG PAC” Commercial
June 04, 2016“It’s no surprise that John Brunner is being targeted by special interests with flat-out lies. John is the only candidate who can’t be bought and who is not looking to start, extend or jump-start a political career. The special interests have good reason to fear John Brunner as Missouri’s next governor, because John will stand up for ‘We the people’ to take our government back from the special interests, and get Missouri back on the right track.”
-Campaign spokesman Mike Hafner

From the Southern Poverty Law Center:
Family Research Council
Founded: 1983
Location: Washington, D.C.
Ideology: Anti-GayThe Family Research Council (FRC) bills itself as “the leading voice for the family in our nation’s halls of power,” but its real specialty is defaming gays and lesbians. The FRC often makes false claims about the LGBT community based on discredited research and junk science. The intention is to denigrate LGBT people in its battles against same-sex marriage, hate crimes laws, anti-bullying programs and the repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.
To make the case that the LGBT community is a threat to American society, the FRC employs a number of “policy experts” whose “research” has allowed the FRC to be extremely active politically in shaping public debate. Its research fellows and leaders often testify before Congress and appear in the mainstream media. It also works at the grassroots level, conducting outreach to pastors in an effort to “transform the culture….”

FRC Action PAC Calls Attacks on Todd Akin ‘Gotcha Politics’TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 20, 2012 PRNewswire-USNewswire — FRC Action PAC President Connie Mackey released the following statement today regarding Rep. Todd Akin’s (R-Missouri) recent statements about abortion:
“This is another case of ‘gotcha politics’ against a conservative leader. Todd Akin has a long and distinguished record of defending women, children and families. He has fought against forcing taxpayers to subsidize abortion giant Planned Parenthood, which is the bedrock of Claire McCaskill’s base of support. When speaking about the issue of rape, let’s not forget the cover-up of statutory rape by Planned Parenthood, which to my knowledge has not been addressed by Senator McCaskill.
“Throughout his twelve years in Congress, Todd Akin has supported legislation that honors all human life. He has opposed the commodification of women in contrast to his opponent, Claire McCaskill, who has a long record of promoting the abortion industry while ignoring how abortion harms women. We know Todd Akin, and FRC Action PAC enthusiastically endorses his candidacy,” Mackey concluded.
FRC Action PAC is the political action committee connected to FRC Action, a 501(c)(4) membership organization. FRC Action is the legislative advocacy arm of the Family Research Council, a 501(c)(3) organization.
Paid for by Family Research Council Action PAC (www.frcactionpac.org) and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.
