State GOP candidates lead Dems in contributions greater than 5k in Nov.

Republican Party candidates in Missouri reported more contributions greater than $5,000 than their Democratic Party counterparts so far in Nov.

According to data from the Missouri Ethics Commission, GOP candidates and party committees received 10 contributions greater than or equal to $5,000, totaling $81,500. The Democratic Party, in contrast, has received just $25,002 in 4 contributions.

Contributions span all levels of races including statewide, state representatives and state senators.

Issue campaigns are also gearing up for the next election cycle. A total of 5 committees received 7 large contributions totaling $121,659. The committees include Citizens in Support of E-911, Missouri SOS Ballot, Our Children-Our Future-Our Decision, PAC of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, and Supporters of Health Research and Treatments.

Of those committees, just one -- Missouri SOS Ballot -- received the large contribution from outside Missouri. On Nov. 17, that committee received $30,000 from Las Vegas-based Save Our Secret Ballot, Inc.
