Nodler campaign war chest passes $100,000
Gary Nodler, R-Joplin is building a massive war chest in his senatorial re-election campaign. Documents filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission Saturday, Jan. 7, show Nodler has $100,765.58 and received $10,750 during the past three months. His campaign spent $4,183.83, according to the documents.
Nearly half of his haul, $5,000, came from the 129th District Republican Legislative Committee, which is allowed to exceed the $600 ceiling applied to other donors.
Those chipping in with $600 apiece included: Carlson Gardner, Inc., Springfield; Missouri Dental PAC, MORESPAC, Jefferson City; Rural Telecommunications PAC, Jefferson City; Ford Motor Company Civic Action Fund, Kansas City; and Missouri Vocational Association PAC, Jefferson City. Nodler also received $500 from the Missouri Pharmacy PAC.
Among the items listed on Nodler's expenditures list:
-A $300 donation to Grassroots for Hunter, the campaign committee of Rep. Steve Hunter, R-Joplin.
-$300 donation to Friends of Stevenson, Webb City Republican State Representative Bryan Stevenson's campaign committee
-$1023.29 to Nodler's wife, Joncee, for reimbursement
-$896 to Cards Direct for Christmas cards
-$100 to the Crowder College Foundation
-$165.63 for food and beverage at Mythos in Joplin
-$187.61 to Hewlett Packard, Memphis, Tenn., for printer repair
-$160.58 to the Joplin Globe for a subscription
$228.66 to Barbara Mustoe, Jefferson City, for reimbursement
$206.00 donation to Spiva Center for the Arts
People go to Crowder College to create a future for themselves and Nodler only gave $100?
ReplyDeleteanyone ever notice just how unattractive, nay ugly nodler is?
ReplyDeleteAnywho, he needs to grab as much dime as possible, so i don't see any chance of his returning any contributions he received from ROYB.
Gary is simply planning on buying another term in the State Senate folks. Hey, it has worked for him before and he has no reason to think it will not work for him again.
ReplyDeleteNodler has spent his entire life being a "fofer" for other politicians and I am at a loss as to what qualifies him to do anything other than "gofer" coffee for the real members of the State Senate.
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it, he is pretty ugly and, with him, it is more than skin deep.
ReplyDeletehey people, he is only human......or is he?
ReplyDeleteNow you guys have done and made him mad and he will never respond to this site. That could very well mean that we will never hear from him again since he chooses to avoid public meetings.
ReplyDeleteDone and made him mad? The truth hurts so he will have to deal with it. People do not care whether he responds again to this site or not because he is a FAKE. And no wonder he chooses to avoid public meetings....he is NOT liked!
ReplyDeleteI feel left out, I didn't get a Christmas card from Gary Nodler. But then again, I am just one of "those" people so I guess Gary couldn't be bothered to send me one.
ReplyDeleteGee! Kick a couple of crips and you never hear the end of it. For crying out loud, do you know how many lobbiests I had to bend over for to get that 100K?
