What did they get?:

Rep. Curtis Trent, a Republican, represents Southwest Springfield and the City of Battlefield in the Missouri House of Representatives. Curtis was elected to his first term in November of 2016…

[….]

Sponsored Bills

[….]

HB 836 – (1803H.01I)
Establishes provisions for the appointment and duties of commissioners to attend an Article V convention

[….]

HCR 17 – (1882H.01I)
Calls for an Article V convention of the states to propose amendments to the United States Constitution placing limits on the federal government

HJR 48 – (2142H.01I)
Proposes a constitutional amendment on voting rights

And.

….As a champion for southwest Missouri values, Curtis is committed to defending the constitution and he will secure our right to bear arms as well as protect life from womb to tomb. Curtis will support small businesses and keep taxes low….

The big money was spent years ago. Now the right wingnut campaign finance industrial complex is just snarling over the remaing scraps.
