Reports detail donations to Republican front-runners By Joe Hadsall jhadsall@joplinglobe.com The three front-runners in the Republican race for the 7th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives can all claim victories in the most recent round of campaign finance reports. They are vying for election to the office long held by Republican Rep. Roy Blunt. Blunt is seeking a seat in the U.S. Senate, following the announcement by fellow Republican Christopher “Kit” Bond that he is not seeking re-election in 2010. Each of three main contenders says he surpassed fund-raising goals, and each received money from the same Joplin family, according to the most recent quarterly reports on file with the Federal Election Commission. n State Sen. Jack Goodman, of Mount Vernon, won the fund-raising lead for the quarter, which ran from April 1 to June 30. He raised $108,263.80 in that time, spent $35,215.57 and currently has a war chest of $147,710. Goodman said he surpassed a $100,000 fund-raising goal and reported 236 donors. “I’m very grateful for the donors at every level,” Goodman said. “We have doubled the number of donors from last quarter, and a great number of them are $100 or less.” Goodman reported donations of $5,000 from Rob Jackson, of Monett, and $2,400 each from Ethelmae Humphreys and attorney Joseph L. Hensley, both of Joplin. Jackson was refunded $200 to stay in compliance with the FEC’s contribution limits. Campaign spokesman Miles Ross said a $2,400 contribution in the report from David Humphreys, president and chief executive of Tamko Building Products Inc., was incorrectly recorded as being from his wife, Debra. Goodman said he has hired a fund-raising team of consultants and is excited about campaigning in the first full quarter without a legislative session. n State Sen. Gary Nodler, of Joplin, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, raised $101,545 in a shorter amount of time, compared with the other two front-runners. Nodler announced his campaign in May. He spent $1,544.07 and has a war chest of $100,000.93. Despite the quick start out of the gate, Nodler said he is focused on raising the money he thinks he needs. “I’m not approaching this as a horse race with the other candidates,” Nodler said. “I have my own budget goals for what I need to raise.” Included in his total are donations of $10,000 from Leggett & Platt Inc.; $9,600 from David and Debra Humphreys, of Joplin; $9,600 from Rudy and Dorothy Farber, of Neosho; and $2,500 from Empire District Electric Co.
