Apparently that’s considered a round number for the purposes of a Missouri republican gubernatorial campaign.

Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C151077 04/21/2015 MISSOURIANS FOR JOHN BRUNNER Friends of Thomas Long 5101 S Palisades Battlefield MO 65619 4/20/2015 $5,001.00

[emphasis added]

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

[emphasis added]

It’d be very interesting if John Brunner’s (r) campaign could keep up that pace. Heh.

Previously:

Campaign Finance: all in today (April 9, 2015)

Campaign Finance: passing the torch… (April 10, 2015)

Campaign Finance: The republican establishment has another gubernatorial favorite? (April 11, 2015)

Campaign Finance: very interesting (April 16, 2015)

Campaign Finance: To which establishment are you referring? (April 19, 2015)

Campaign Finance: But wait, there’s even more… (April 20, 2015)

Sometimes it seems that there are almost as many Missouri republican gubernatorial candidates with big dollar donors as there are republican presidential candidates…

Also yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C151077 04/19/2015 MISSOURIANS FOR JOHN BRUNNER Jesse Bodine 50 Creekwood Lane St Louis MO 63124 Retired 4/17/2015 $35,000.00

[emphasis added]

That’s at least $325,280.00 for John Brunner’s (r) “exploratory” campaign in just eighteen days.

Pass the popcorn.
