Attorneys, organized labor (working people), a lot of small dollar contributions from individuals, and none of those $5000.00 plus contributions from special interests.

What, no contributions from organized labor (representing working people)?

All snark aside, there appears to be a pattern here, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Again, no contributions from organized labor (representing working people)?
Whudaya know? Another big bucks contribution over $5000.00 which has to be reported within 48 hours of receipt. This one on April 15th [pdf]:

And last, there is a Democratic challenger. Abdul Akram filed his first quarter campaign finance report with the Missouri Ethics Commission on April 12th:

I do believe this is a first for us here at Show Me Progress.
Without that string of $10,000.00 contributions Tom Schweich (r) would be in the same neighborhood as State Auditor Susan Montee (D). Instead, he’s in the high rent district. I wonder if we’ll be seeing some more rock videos?
