The House Republican Campaign Committee (HRCC) is very interested in this race. At this point in the election cycle any campaign expenditure over $250.00 must be reported within twenty-four hours. The HRCC is spending serious money against Michela Skelton (D) in the 50th Legislative District.
Via the Missouri Ethics Commission:

Michela Skelton (D) should be flattered. That’s close to $20.00 a vote on behalf of Sara Walsh (r) based on the results of the 2017 special election.
