New York lawyers contributed $45,000 to Democratic attorney general candidate Chris Koster's campaign, according to a 48-hour report filed Sunday with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
Labaton, Sucharow LLP, New York, contributed $40,000, while Nadeem Faruqi of the firm of Faruqi & Faruqi gave the other $5,000.
Koster has pulled far ahead of his Republican opponent, Michael Gibbons, in oversized contributions. Since contribution limits were repealed Aug. 28, Koster has received $782,500, while Gibbons has pulled in $287,650, and has not received any $5,000+ contributions in the last 11 days.
I think the New York connection is Koster's campaign driver. He worked in a similar capacity for disgraced former Governor Elliot Spitzer.
