Steve Hunter shuts down campaign committee, gives money to White, Schaaf

For the first time since around the turn of the century, there is no Grass Roots for Hunter campaign committee.

The committee, which supported the political efforts of former Rep. Steve Hunter, R-Joplin, shut down in December. At the time of its termination, Hunter was listed as planning to run for statewide office in 2014, but that was just a formality to keep the committee open.

Hunter's last candidacy was for federal office when he ran for Seventh District Congress, a race which was eventually won by Billy Long. Hunter has also spent time as a lobbyist since he was term-limited out of the House of Representatives.

According to Missouri Ethics Commission documents, Hunter contributed $1,589.61 to Rep. Bill White, R-Joplin, and $1,589.62 to Sen. Rob Schaaf, R-St. Joseph.
