Campaign Finance: the Missouri billionaires’ club

August A Busch III contributed a total of $100,000.00 to MO Opportuniy PAC in two installments in 2019. CL PAC contributed a total of $50,000.00 to MO Opportuniy PAC in two installments in 2019. Herzog Contracting (St. Joseph) contributed $100,000.00 in 2019.

That’s a lot of money. That’s not all of it.

After a PAC acquires all that money they spend it. On candidates.
