Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission, a flood of money for a previously dormant PAC:

191028 10/13/2026 Excelsior PAC American Democracy Alliance 1100 Main St 2700 Kansas City MO 64105 10/13/2026 $370,000.00

C191028 10/13/2026 Excelsior PAC Trails West, Inc. 615 S Bishop Ave STE F Rolla MO 65401 10/13/2026 $180,000.00

C191028 10/13/2026 Excelsior PAC Herzog Action Fund 105 188th Street Smithville MO 64089 10/13/2026 $120,000.00

[emphasis added]

$670,000.00 in one day.

What have they been up to before today?

April 2026:

January 2026:

Rex Sinquefield
244 Bent Walnut Lane
Westphalia MO 65085
Retired
12/22/2025
$5,000.00

Interesting.

January 2025:

April 2024:

The other submissions to the Missouri Ethics Commission for quarters over this period consisted of “limited activity reports”.

They’re going to spend that money on something.

Definitely not in support of any Democratic Party or progressive candidates or initiatives.
