Joe Hadsall: Reasons for donor’s contributions hard to peg Here’s a wrap-up of what area legislators raised in the last three months, even though none of them has an opponent in the upcoming election:
n Rep. Ed Emery, R-Lamar, collected $350 and has a warchest of $5,349.78. He reported a single donation of $350 from Sprint Nextel, based in Reston, Va. n Rep. Steve Hunter, R-Joplin, who terms out of the House this year, terminated his fund-raising committee in October. n Speaker-elect Ron Richard, R-Joplin, collected $34,922.16 in donations, giving him a warchest of $158,845.43. No individual donated more than the limit of $325. Many of his donations come from nursing organizations and medical-related organizations. n Rep. Marilyn Ruestman, R-Joplin, received $3,250 and has a warchest of $80,231.95. The biggest donation comes from the Crowell for Senate political action committee. She received $2,450 from it. The committee is for Sen. Jason Crowell, R-Cape Girardeau. n Rep. Bryan Stevenson, R-Webb City, received $5,550 and has a warchest of $3,403.10. He received $325 each from Altria Corporate Services and American Family Insurance’s PAC. The imbalance is likely because of $9,300 worth of loans he repaid in this period. He also donated $1,350 to gubernatorial candidate and U.S. Rep. Kenny Hulshof, R-Columbia. n Rep. Kevin Wilson, R-Neosho, received $975 and has a warchest of $30,284.54. His expenditures include contributions of $5,000 to the House Republican Campaign Committee and $500 to the Pearce for Senate PAC. n Sen. Gary Nodler, R-Joplin, received $11,575 and has a warchest of $106,458.23. In addition to the $9,750 he received from 15 of Sinquefield’s committees, he received $1,000 from James B. Hebenstreit, of Mission Hills, Kan. Nodler gave $10,160 to other committees, including an $8,000 donation to the Majority Fund, Inc.
