MOScout Daily Update: 30 Day After Reports... We Are Missouri has $525K - McDowell Raises $5K After Upset Win and more....

We Are Missouri Sitting on $525K…

Yesterday candidate and campaigns filed their “30 Day After the primary” finance reports, basically covering the month of August.

We Are Missouri, organized labor’s campaign committee to defeat Prop A, showed it raised $1.3 million and spent $1.2 million during that period.  It and now has $525,236 on-hand.  I previously wrote about talking to a union source who indicated there were discussions occurring about how to use the money.  The best guess is that they will use at least some of this leftover war-chest to target anti-labor legislators. The feeling is that if no political consequences are seen for passing right to work, the Republican-dominated legislature might be emboldened to revisit the issue sooner rather than later.

McDowell 30 Day Report: “Continuing Trainwreck”

Auditor Nicole Galloway raised $180,749; spent $49,290; and has $1,212,861 on-hand.  And her Republican challenger Saundra McDowell continued to struggle, only raising $4,820; spending $2,981.  McDowell now has $5,006 on-hand.  But also her committee carries $22,911 in debt.

Plus one observer noted in the expenses this quarter: “fixing her personal car using campaign funds at the dealership where her husband sells cars…”

State Senate 30 Day After Reports

Ryan Dillon raised $14,159; spent $10,451; and has $70,149 on-hand.
