Got to promote those wholesome family values.

A New Missouri, Inc. PAC has been a busy little bee today.

From May 23, 2017:

Senators to Gov. Greitens: Do You Really Want to Abolish the Missouri Ethics Commission?

…The existence of Governor Greitens’ secret 501(C)(4) PAC, A New Missouri, ensures that he will continue to play the game like a ‘career politician’…

There are television commercials running in the Kansas City media market paid for by A New Missouri, Inc. which are fluffing Eric Greitens'(r) right wingnut trickle down tax plan. From their web site (URL provided by the commercial):
