Catherine Hanaway and GOP gender bias

2016 election, 2016 GOP primary, Catherine Hanaway, Gender bias

First let me say that I find all the GOP nominees for Governor equally repellent and can only hope that our better angels prevail and Missourians refuse to give opportunistic Eric Greitens his first step up the political ladder (governorship, no less) in November. That said, I find the election returns very telling for another reason: Catherine Hanaway’s last place finish in the gubernatorial primary.

If I had to rank the GOP candidates in terms of qualifications (which includes their ability to convey some iota of intelligence), I would put Hanaway and then Greitens at the top of the list, followed by bumbling Brunner, and, coming in last, poor Peter Kinder. Yet which of these sterling candidates did Missouri Republicans kick to last place? The very highly qualified woman, of course, Catherine Hanaway.

Hanaway was so superior to her competitors that even the St. Louis Post-Dispatch gave her their endorsement for the primary, arguing that only she had “shown herself by word and deed to be worthy of the state’s top post.” (Although, it’s always possible, given the new GOP tribalism, that an endorsement from a putatively liberal newspaper actually hurt her.) She had big money support too, most notably millions from would-be GOP kingmaker, Rex Sinquefield. Yet even the low-budget doofus, Kinder, beat her by 5,148 votes (141,498 to 136,350).

So do you think gender shouldn’t be a consideration when we evaluate support for other female candidates in this year’s general election, Hillary Clinton for sure, but also, here in Missouri, political candidates like Teresa Hensley who won the Democratic nomination for Attorney General? Just saying … if it walks like a duck …

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission for Catherine Hanaway’s (a) 2016 gubernatorial campaign:

C141055 07/22/2016 HANAWAY FOR GOVERNOR, INC Herzog Contracting Corp P O Box 1089 St Joseph MO 64502 7/22/2016 $100,000.00

[emphasis added.

$100,000.00 must be the new $5,001.00 – at least in the two weeks before the primary.

And from a Rex Sinquefield supported PAC:

C141055 07/22/2016 HANAWAY FOR GOVERNOR, INC Grow Missouri 308 E High Street Suite 301 Jefferson City MO 65101 7/22/2016 $319,151.25

Those ten weekly $10,000.00 contributions from Rex Sinquefield at the end of 2014, after the $50,000.00 and $750,000.00 contributions, prompted one wag to sarcastically coin the sobriquet “Catherine Layaway”. There were no contributions over $5,000.00 in 2015, but after that start in 2014 who would need any? Other things were going on early in 2015. The contributions picked up again in 2016 in large but distinctly non-round numbers.

The contributions over $5,000.00 to the Missouri Club for Growth 2013 to date, reported to the Missouri Ethics Commission:

Isn’t this all so special? Wouldn’t it just be easier to write the checks directly? Just asking.

There’s plenty more where that came from.

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission for Catherine Hanaway’s (r) 2016 gubernatorial campaign from two Rex Sinquefield funded PACs:

C141055 07/01/2016 HANAWAY FOR GOVERNOR, INC Great St Louis 308 E High St Suite 301 Jefferson City MO 65101 7/1/2016 $395,162.36

[emphasis added]

That’s a lot of money.

Well, somebody has to pay for all those campaign commercials. Too bad they didn’t sink some of that into production values or any relevant public policy content.

As if the former Speaker of the Missouri House is, somehow, a political outsider?

Just saw LG PAC ad against John Brunner. I would bet some serious money that came from the Greitens camp. Just sayin. #MOgov 9:14 AM – 26 Jun 2016

Claire McCaskill‏@clairecmc
And despite all efforts to hide it, Hanaway is bankrolled by Sinquefeld. Period. 9:16 AM – 26 Jun 2016

Heh.

In the field of Missouri gubernatorial politics was so much ever been contributed by so few to one?

Campaign Finance: paying for all those campaign television ads (June 17, 2016)
