Information needed on Shields for Pro Tem Committee

If any readers have the information on what the new name of the campaign committee formerly known as Shields for Pro Tem is, please leave the information in the comment section to this post.
Two e-mails I sent to the Missouri Ethics Commission trying to uncover this information went unanswered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that the new finance laws required the termination of leadership committees like the one you are refering to.

Leadership committees were required to be filed with the clerk of the senate. You may wish to call them.

You are correct about the law, but the records of other leadership committees are still available from the Missouri Ethics Commission and continue to be listed even after the termination. The Shields Committee has vanished, which indicates that at some point it changed its name and eliminated Shields' name from it. The same thing happened with the old Nodler Leadership PAC. When it was changed to Southwest Missouri Leadership PAC, it could not be looked up by using the name Nodler any more. The commitee information is available somewhere on the Ethics Commission website, I am just not sure where.
