What does all that money pay for?

Last night, from the HRCC, after Missouri House special election results came in:

Missouri HRCC @Missouri_HRCC
Just going to leave this here…
[….]
10:16 PM · Nov 5, 2019

Some of the responses:

Land doesn’t vote…

Glad this will change beginning in 2022 when we get fair maps!

Gonna donate that money from Lev Parnas?

He’s under indictment & flipping on @realDonaldTrump ya know…

#moleg

Maps are hard. Back to 4th grade with you.

Yes, everything went great for Republicans last night. No need to make any changes!

Here’s a cartogram attempted bubble chart of GDP by County:

When do the districts shown in blue get to stop being state tax donors to the red parts?

Hello, Einstein. States don’t work that way. Try something else.

“Taxation is theft….until it means less state spending in my district.” – Missouri Republicans

Maybe you shouldn’t be angering women by tracking their periods.

MO has been gerrymandered into oblivion by the amoral power hungry Republicans. Don’t let these conniving propagandists fool you into thinking MO is actually this red. The GOP won 57% of votes in House districts, yet won 71% of the seats. This map was drawn to stifle democracy!

Yep.

You understand concepts like population distribution right?

Assumes fact not in evidence.

Lieutenant Governor, Mike Kehoe, Misouri, Missouri Ethics Commision

The April quarterly campaign finance reports are due at the Missouri Ethics Commission.

C091155: Citizens To Elect Mike Kehoe
Committee Type: Candidate
Po Box 105527
Jefferson City Mo 65110
Party Affiliation: Republican
Established Date: 07/10/2009
[….]
Information Reported On: 2019 – April Quarterly Report
Beginning Money on Hand $42,429.64
Monetary Receipts + $113,875.00
Monetary Expenditures – $24,435.88
Contributions Made – $0.00
Other Disbursements – $0.00
Subtotal $89,439.12
Ending Money On Hand $131,868.76

[emphasis added]

Those are respectable amounts.

The contributions:

Well, the non-itemized small contributions are nonexistent.

There were 47 itemized contributions for a total of $113,875.00. That’s an average of $2,422.87 per contribution, quite close to the $2,600.00 maximum allowed per election. 40 of the 47 contributions reported this quarter were for $2,600.00.

That’ ain’t particularly grass roots.

Some of the expenditures:
