Unions keep Susan Montee above half-million mark

More than half of the money contributed to State Auditor Susan Montee in July came from union sources, according to her eight-day report filed earlier this week with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

Ms .Montee, who will face the winner of the Allen Icet-Thomas Schweich Republican primary in November, collected $49,625 during the first three weeks of July, including at least $26,950 from union sources.

She received $10,000, in the form of $5,000 contributions three days apart, from the Teamsters Local; and $5,000 apiece from Volunteers Political Fund Local and AFSCME People Public Employees, to top the contributions, according to the disclosure report.

When the report was filed, Ms. Montee had $543,633.63 in the bank.
