Yesterday, via the Missouri Ethics Commission, one of the republican candidates in the 24th Senate District got a campaign finance jump start:

C141148 03/30/2014 SPOONER FOR SENATE Rich Galocki Jeanne Rhode P.O. Box 174 Waterloo IL 62298 N/A N/A 3/28/2014 $30,000.00

[emphasis added]

Waterloo, Illinois, eh? John R. Ashcroft (r) will have all the money he needs.

Let’s hope that the GOP reaps what John Lamping sows. (January 15, 2014)

He’s super-villain clever, he is! (January 14, 2014)

Representative Jill Schupp (D) on the House floor in Jefferson City – January 8, 2014.

Representative Jill Schupp (D), 88th Legislative District, representing most of Creve Coeur and Olivette, and parts of Ladue, Frontenac, Town & Country and Chesterfield, is a candidate for the 24th Senate District seat currently held by John Lamping (r). The 24th Senate District encompasses part of St. Louis County. The fourth quarter 2013 campaign finance reports have been filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

The overall numbers, first, for Jill Schupp (D):

C131081: Schupp For Senate

418 North Mosley Road Committee Type: Candidate

[emphasis added]

Schupp Jumping In State Senate Race; Lamping Unsure Of Plans

Posted by Gregg Palermo (Editor) , June 06, 2013 at 09:30 PM

….Lamping himself said he would make a decision no later than Thanksgiving about his own plans. His daughter has been training as an elite-level gymnast in Blue Springs, MO since May 2011….

….If his daughter stays on an upward current trajectory as a gymnast, he said he’s not likely to run for re-election….

That could be part of it. So could this:
