Another quarter of a million dollars today has placed Attorney General Jay Nixon less than $100,000 away from becoming the first candidate to collect $4 million in oversized contributions.
A 48-hour report filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission shows Nixon received $254,788.29 Thursday, with most of the money, $199,788.29 came from the Missouri State Democratic Committee. He also picked up $25,000 from Western Missouri and Kansas Laborers District PAC, and $10,000 apiece from Randy W. Jones and Associates, Lee's Summit; Friends of Ryan McKenna, Crystal City; and One Planet Energy LCC, Kansas City.
At this point, Nixon has received $3,921,163.29 in oversized contributions since limits were removed Aug. 28. His opponent, Kenny Hulshof, has $3,115,474.17.
What remains to be seen is how well the candidates fare when smaller contributions are added to the mix. Their quarterly reports are due Oct. 15.
