15th Senate District, campaign finance, david Gregory, General Assembly, missouri, Missouri Ethics Commission, right wingnut

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C222294 06/01/2023 Gregory For Missouri David Gregory 1145 Greystone Manor Pkwy Chesterfield MO 63005 Self Attorney 6/1/2023 $100,000.00

[emphasis added]

How nice.

That State Auditor thing didn’t work out.

Apparently:

Critical Race Theory is divisive and un-American. As State Senator, David will investigate, expose and end CRT in Missouri schools.

If a light shampoo and rinse doesn’t work out. Oh, wait…

David is proud to have a 100% Pro-Life voting record in the Missouri House of Representatives. As State Senator, David will continue to ensure abortion and any ancillary action is illegal in Missouri.

Leave anything else out? Just asking.

As a State Representative, David NEVER voted for a tax increase. As State Senator, David will continue to that legacy and expose wasteful government spending to provide bigger tax cuts in the future.

As for civilization, take it or leave it, but mostly leave it? Just asking.

David is a proud supporter of the NRA and proud to have a 100% Pro-Second Amendment voting record in the Missouri House of Representatives. As State Senator, David will continue fighting to protect your right to bear arms.

Marketing!

Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C222341 05/26/2023 Missouri Agrees Show Me Integrity 7037 Amherst University City MO 63132 5/25/2023 $332,000.00

[emphasis added]

Wait, what? Where did all that money come from?

…We’re actively exploring campaigns across the state to pass campaign finance reform, first at the local level and then statewide, to ensure that the people of Missouri can hold our elected officials accountable for their actions and inactions…

Uh…

And?:

…Current voting laws, which restrict voters to choosing only one candidate per office, incentivize division over problem-solving. The good news? Pick-one voting is not a feature of our elections. It’s time to replace this outdated voting system with a one that actually rewards accountability, protects the will of the people, and encourages effective government. Freedom Voting can achieve this by giving voters the freedom to choose all the candidates they like per office, and not limit their choices to one…

Uh…

It’s their world, the rest of us just get to live in it.

Today, at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

Do you personally know anyone who could write a $500,000.00 or $200,000.00 check like that? I didn’t think so.
