Koster passes $800,000 in oversized contributions

Oversized contributions continued to pour into Democratic attorney general candidate Chris Koster's campaign Monday.

A 48-hour report filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission showed Koster picking up $26,000 in oversized contributions, including $10,000 from Stone, Leyton & Gershman, St. Louis; $6,000 from Shaffer Lombardo Shurn, Kansas City; and $5,000 apiece from White, Allinder, Graham, Buckley & Carr, Independence; and Reagan Auto Group, Inc., Jefferson City.

Since contribution limits were repealed Aug. 28, Koster has received $808,500, while his Republican opponent Michael Gibbons has pulled in $287,650, and has not reported receiving any $5,000+ contributions in the last 12 days.

Who in the world is running Mike Gibbons' campaign?? If he loses to a guy like Koster he'd done for.

I can't believe someone whose been around as long as Gibbons is letting someone destroy his career like this.

I understand Gibbons and Koster will face off at a program on Oct. 9 in Poplar Bluff at TRCC. THis should be good ... hope Gibbons goes into it with a plan and ammunition! Check out the info on the TRCC website ... trcc.edu
