Good Government Committee
Monday, St. Louis County Good Government Committee, Treasurer Francis X. Miller, filed with MEC and last month filed with SOS. Charter #N00798187: "To receive and report funds received and expended in connection with election campaigns of candidates for St. Louis County Council." President Lesley Tiepelman is former Democratic Assistant Director at STL County Election Board. Committee phone # is Judi Roman. The Sutton address rings a bell as where 24th Ward Committeeman Chuck Miller hangs his Miller Strategies shingle.

March 04, 2007
18th Ward Filing
Terry Kennedy Campaign Committee: $14,940 in contribs, $7,843.90 in expenses, $7,839.10 on-hand. Four fundraisers for the period. 02-05 Meet & Greet raising $4,400, costing $0. 02-08 Raffle at Wardo Salon raising $650, costing $200. 02-16 "Posh" Meet & Greet raising $5,000, costing $163.59. 02-18 Jazz Soiree raising $1,600, costing $1,240.

Committeewoman Ernestine Hill's 18th Ward Regular Democratic Organization is not research-friendly. MEC forms are not completed. Going thru all 06 reports, only lists of expenses and donations or Limited Activity were submitted. Balances and aggregates are anyone's guess. Best we can tell, in 8-days out Nov. 06 General, they had $1,250 in contribs and $1,265 in expenses. Then, under the 06 filings, is what appears to be both an Amendment to previous report and Jan. 07 report. Expenses and donations similar to the previous report are listed. But there's addition of $1,000 from Committee to Elect Lewis Reed and explanation on $442.99 of it being used for funeral-related expenses and $300 to Kennedy.
Committeeman Jesse Todd's 18th Ward Regular Democratic Organization had $727.98 on-hand as of 30-days out Nov. General.

2008 Hopefuls
Not sure what they're hoping for yet...
Maida Coleman, sitting on $25k.
Rod Jetton, started statewide committee.
Charlie Shields, amended his old committee.
January 20, 2007
From Mo Ethics
Gambaro eats the debt from his 4th SD campaign.
And the MEC remains delinquent on posting delinquent committees on its website, running this notice for over a year.
January 15, 2007
Quarters
Here are starters. The bulk will come in later this week.
Christian Saller - 6th ward - raised $1,555.
Bill Waterhouse - 24th ward - $11,200 raised.
November 04, 2006
Money
Advertising Age says political ad spending nears $2 billion.
Washington Post says 600 new TV spot this weekend will push it higher.
One GOP consultant marveled to me yesterday that Barb and Kurt will spend $800,000 for a $12,000 job.
November 03, 2006
Talent - UniGroup $$$
From Kos. UniGroup donates to Talent; Talent oversees contracts to UniGroup.
Progressives against Schmid
20th Ward Residents for Progressive Change has filed to opposed alderman Criag Schmid next spring.
$40,000 = ?
If the different ballot initiatives lose, there are going to be questions.
For example, the Committee for a Healthy Future's campaign filing shows $10,000 to ACORN (though it apparently wasn't sent to the ACORN office) and $30,000 to Entelechy LLC (Looks like Clay staffer Darryl Piggee).
What were they getting for $40k? According to the filing, "?"

Progressives and Greens for Stem Cell
Should have a little more information later this afternoon.
September 20, 2006
Here comes the money
GOP sends $1,000,000 to help Talent.
August 23, 2006
What's Larry Raising $$$ For?
Larry Williams recently had a nice fundraiser. Look for it on his next quarter. Here's something else to keep in mind:
"Committee to Re-Elect Larry C. Williams" was terminated 8-01-2005 and same day replaced with "Williams for St. Louis", a continuing committee or PAC. You can write as large a check as you'd like to Larry's new committee. But since it's not a candidate committee, you'd have to wonder what you're contributing to.
August 17, 2006
Who are the Progressives for Change?
Treasurer Kimberly Benjamin is the sister of Chris Benjamin, chief of staff, to Rod Jetton.
August 16, 2006
Progressives for Change
The commenter asks: Who are "Progressives for change"? I can not find much about them anywhere.
The sole beneficiaries of Harrisonville-based "Progressives for Change" (created July 10, 2006) are $3,000 to 19th District Legislative Committee (a Mark Miles committee) which shows receipt of the money but no expenditures and no other receipts since January; and $650 Gambaro for Senate.
The Progressives sole contributor to date was "Missouri Leadership Coalition" which lists the same address and same Treasurer, Kimberly Benjamin, as the Progressives for Change.
Coming as a huge surprise, the Coalition has previously given to only Republicans and its largest expense to date was polling by a GOP firm.
07-30-2006 -$5500 Progressives for Change (Harrisonville MO)
07-15-2006 -$1500 127th Legislative Committee (GOP, Jasper MO)
06-01-2006 -$6000 Public Polls Research (typo on report, should read Public Pulse Research, which is a subsidiary of John Hancock & Associates- Political Consulting) (Chesterfield Mo)
04-20-2006 +$1200 All Children Matter (Alexandria VA)
04-11-2006 -$650 Americans for Brad Roark (GOP, 139th State Rep. now running for Greene County Commissioner)
03-25-2006 -$650 Rupp for Senate (GOP, 2nd Senate District, Wentzville MO)
03-25-2006 -$1150 2nd Senatorial Republican Committee (St. Charles MO)
12-27-2005 -$2500 Senate Majority Fund (GOP, JC, MO)
12-15-2005 +$15,000 DLH Services Inc (Cape Girardeau MO) this is one of the Delta Companies, highway contractors, DHL stands for Don L. Harrison, big GOP supporter.
10-14-2005 -$3000 106th District Republican Committee (GOP, Farmington MO)
10-13-2005 -$6000 123rd Republican Legislative Committee (GOP, Raymore MO)
August 15, 2006
Yes, Rex.
Of course that last $19,500 did come from Rex Sinquefield.
The 23rd Senatorial.
The 12th Legislative.
The 16th Legislative.
That brought his total contribution to the Gambaro campaign to $40,200.
In other news, Rex's name is popping up all over the place. This from an email tipster:
Dave--- I thought you may be interested to know that I ran across Mr. Sinquefield's name in an odd place recently. He gave $25k to the Republican Governors Association on 2/24/2006, right about the time the school voucher/tax credit legislation, which Blunt supports, was moving in the Missouri House. Here is the quarterly RGA report that lists the contribution
on page 28.
August 14, 2006
Who is Mark Miles? (Part III)
The weekend before the primary, Gambaro received yet another $19,500 from committees controlled by Mark Miles.
The committees filed limited activity for the period ending June 30. When the next reports are filed I think it's safe to assume we'll see Mr. Sinquefield's name again.
August 06, 2006
Blog St. Louis has 4th SD stuff
And more GOP money for Gambaro.
July 26, 2006
McKenna - Alter
Should be a Dem pick up in 22nd. Fix notes that McKenna is crushing Alter in fundraising.
July 23, 2006
Who is Mark Miles? (part II)
Also treasurer of:
2nd Senatorial District Legislative Committee
23rd Senatorial District Legislative Committee
St. Charles County Democratic Club Inc
St. Charles County Votes
and deputy treasurer of Citizens for Jim Rutherford - Democrat for St. Charles County Executive.
To be continued...
July 21, 2006
Who is Mark Miles? (Part I)
The treasurer of those committees is Mark Miles. Who is Mark Miles?
He's the treasurer of the:
12th District Legislative Committee (created 09/20/04)
13th District Legislative Committee (created 09/20/04)
14th District Legislative Committee (created 09/20/04)
15th District Legislative Committee (created 09/20/04)
16th District Legislative Committee (created 09/20/04)
17th District Legislative Committee (created 04/23/04)
18th District Legislative Committee (created 09/20/04)
19th District Legislative Committee (created 09/20/04)
Most of the reports show limited activity which is understandable since all but the 15th are represented by Republicans. But then out of the blue, in come three checks from Rex the Republican and out go three checks to Derio the Democrat. Kinda funny.
To be continued...

Rex Hearts Derio
Gambaro had a good quarter - raised 58k; spent 18k; 73k on-hand.
It would have been another mediocre quarter without the help of Rex Sinquefield who sent $20,700 Gamarbo's direction.
$600 Rex Sinquefield
$600 Jeanne Sinquefield
$6,500 via 13th District Legislative Committee
$6,500 via 14th District Legislative Committee
$6,500 via 15th District Legislative Committee
Sinquefield gives lots of money to Republicans.
We wrote about him back in April as one of the major funders of the Show Me Institute. According to our research, he has contributed over $230,000 to the Republican National Committee since 2002.

When Sam Page waited until the second to last day to file for the 82nd district there were lots of rumors. (See ACC 4/4, pg 15)
In this quarter's filing there's a $20,000 poll showing that he really did consider running in the 2nd CD.

And cites my recent BJ column saying that Parker needs a big quarter to be competitive.
February 02, 2006
Sherman Parker
He filed an FEC report:

January 15, 2006
Warm Beer, cold donations
While some of the January Quarterlies are available at the Missouri Ethics Commission, most won't likely be available until Tuesday, sending me to go through some of last years filings.
One entry I doubt we'll see repeated; in September the MO Beer Wholesalers Association PAC gave $200 to State Senator Bill Alter.
Alter's bill to ban the sale of beer colder than 60 degrees likely won't go down smooth and easy with them.

Akin raised $199,359, has $429,312 cash on hand.
Can't find a committee for Sherman Parker yet. I've spoken to people who were at a fundraiser a couple of weeks ago for him. I wonder who those checks were payable to?
Meanwhile, in StL CC 5th, Zimmerman's quarter has been received, but not scanned yet. I hear he came in around $89,000.

Tomorrow is deadline
We'll try to stay on top of interesting filings:
Democratic primary St. Louis County Council 5th District
Barbara Fraser raised $18,348, has $24,055 cash on hand
Jake Zimmerman hasn't filed yet. His whisper number is $80,000 raised of which $30,000 is coming from himself.
State Senate 4th District
Fred Kratky still hasn't started a committee for 4th State Senate District, but he can convert his state rep committee which had $34,652 cash on hand.
And finally, if you care to click: What I wrote in the last BJ about the filings.

Lop-sided
Latest campaign finance filings for Mayor
Irene Smith raised $10,375; spent $4,596; has $5,778 on-hand.
Bill Haas raised $5,050 (of which $5,000 is debt); spent $3,917; has $1,082 on-hand.
Francis Slay raised $277,680 (bringing his election total to a little under $1.5 million); spent $228,652; has $749,029 on-hand.
Smith's expenditures include $350 to Cheap Towing. So far then towing makes up 7% of her campaign expenses?
Haas loaned himself $5,000 and received a $50 donation from Bill Purdy.

State Rep filings

Terry Crow raised $11,671 this quarter for a total of $80,661 so far.
Rachel Storch raised $15,284.00 this quarter for a total of $73,279.00 so far.
59th District
Jeanetter Mott Oxford raised $11,257.50 this quarter for a total of $25,302.50 so far.
Beck Burrell’s filings haven’t shown up yet and Mark Rice’s filings make no sense whatsoever. Usually when the filings don’t add up you can figure out where the mistake was made. These are just beyond my comprehension.
87th District
Dena Ladd raised $19,785 in this quarter her first quarter of fundraising.
David Stokes raised $10,105 this quarter for a total of $42,220.
Scott Muschany – it says his filings are in, but I can’t seem to pull them up.
July 15, 2004
64th District
Schoemehl - $26,561.21 Raised in July quarter, $59,307.21 total raised.
Dandamudi - $2,015.00 Raised in July quarter, $58,595.83 total raised.
Still waiting on Storch and Crow.

Mark Rice's Campaign Finance Disclosure
Running in the 59th.
Too many errors and mistakes to make sense of.
Have a crack at it.

Crow's numbers
Running in the 64th District, Terry Crow posts some very strong numbers:
$29,500 raised; $11,388 spent; $56,876 on-hand ($5,000 debt).
So to recap this slugfest:
Terry Crow - $29k raised this quarter, $56k on-hand.
Rachel Storch - $20k raised this quarter, $53k on-hand.
Tim Schoemehl – $18k raised this quarter, $20k on-hand.
Sreenu Dandamudi - $11k raised this quarter, $35k on-hand.
There's a question three people in this race will have to answer someday: How in the heck did you raise all that money and not win?
April 21, 2004
Odenwald's numbers
Solid, below McNary but in the ballpark.
$84,273 raised; $7,139 spent; $80,134 on-hand ($3,000 debt).

Lucky March isn't a 30-day month
By my count Carnahan's campaign filing shows that about half - $66,000 of his $125,000 total - of his contributions were received on March 31.
Whew. Also, unless I missed it, he didn't receive any contributions in January. Quarter started mighty slowly and ended right on time!
April 16, 2004
64th District
In the 64th District, here's what happened:
Rachel Storch - $20k raised this quarter, $53k on-hand.
Tim Schoemehl – $18k raised this quarter, $20k on-hand.
Sreenu Dandamudi - $11k raised this quarter, $35k on-hand.
Terry Crow’s filing hasn’t shown up yet.
This shows Storch in the lead. And while Dandamudi is second with cash on-hand, presumably the easy money for him has already been recorded and he will have to work hard to keep up with the field. Meanwhile it will be interesting to see how much Schoemehl raises next quarter as well as to see Crow’s filings when they show up.
Students of politics think that these candidates should consider starting to use their money to contact voters. With the hordes of money they are collecting for this relatively small race, there is only so much cash they can spend effectively during any given period of time. Therefore spending some money to introduce yourself to the voters now may be a good strategy.
