House District 5: Klippenstein nets $13k for bid to replace Guest

House Candidate Glen Klippenstein (R) raised just over $13,000 during his first quarter of fundraising for the race to replace Rep. Jim Guest (R).

Guest, who is term-limited in 2010, claimed 57 percent of the vote in 2008, a 2,300 vote margin from his Democratic challenger.

As of last week, Klippenstein, a former state senator, won't be free of opposition. On Oct. 23rd, Judy Wright (D) filed paperwork with the Missouri Ethics Commission to form a campaign committee. Fundraising information for Wright will not be available until the end of the year.

For Klippenstein, 43 percent of total receipts during the period originated from individuals in Missouri and an almost equal share, 42 percent, came from out-of-state donors.

Klippenstein's finance reports filed last week erroneously claim receipts for the election period twice what they actually were. To date, Klippenstein fundraised for only a single quarter, thus total receipts are $13,061.

The campaign had $1,761 in disbursements and reported $11,300 cash-on-hand.
