It's not exactly the $10,000 that incumbent Jasper County Administrator Rita Hunter has pumped into her campaign for re-election during the past several days, but challenger Angie Casavecchia Ashens received $1,400 in contributions Sunday, according to a 24-hour report filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
Mrs. Ashens received $500 contributions from Mary Arnold and Walter Graham, both of Joplin, and $400 from Larry Black, Joplin. Mrs. Ashens has raised slightly more than $8,000 during the campaign, according to Ethics Commission documents.
The other challenger in the Republican primary, Monty Morgan, has raised approximately $3,300, Ethics Commission documents indicate.
Mrs. Hunter has raised $17,350, including the $10,000 from her own account and, as noted in previous posts, approximately $4,600 of her remaining contributions can be attributed to state legislature colleagues of her husband, Rep. Steve Hunter, R-Joplin.

How convenient that Rita is able to use her husband's money... Perhaps they are trying to pattern themselves after another political supercouple, Bill and Hillary?
I have faith that the good people of Jasper County will see through the money Rita is throwing at her campaign and vote accordingly for the most qualified candidate!
