Koster's ex-wife gives $140,000 to Gibbons campaign

It has been a while since we have heard anything about Democratic attorney general candidate Chris Koster's ex-wife, Rebecca Nassikas, but after her efforts to defeat her ex-husband in the August primary fell just short, she is ready to help his general election opponent.

A 48-hour report filed today with the Missouri Ethics Commission shows Mrs. Nassikas contributed $140,000 to the Gibbons campaign, which also received $90,000 from Frank Bowman, retired, St. Louis, for a total of $230,000. Bowman is Mrs. Nassikas' father.

Mrs. Nassikas paid $200,000 for an advertising campaign against her ex-husband toward the conclusion of Koster's primary battle with Margaret Donnelly and Jeff Harris.

Today's $230,000 continued a recent trend which saw Gibbons overcome a once-sizable fundraising lead for Koster and shoot far past him. The big contribution, of course, was $1.1 million from the Republican State Leadership Committee PAC, Arlington, Va.

Gibbons now leads Koster in oversized contributions by more than $800,000, collecting $1,722,650 thus far to $916,000 for Koster.

The statement on the KC Star website mentioned that he saw the John Robinson case as a political opportunity. I don't know if that is true but it wouldn't surprise if it is. Koster is just pathetic.

Talk about pathetic, a young woman that has never worked a day in her life spending nearly a half a million dollars of her Daddy's money, like this. There are a lot better things this little spoiled brat could have done with that money. She just seems desperate for attention.
