St. Louis businessman kicks in $30,000 for Schweich

The latest big money infusion into the Missouri state auditor race went from one former ambassador to another.

St. Louis businessman and former ambassador to Belgium Sam Fox contributed $30,000 to former ambassador to Afghanistan Thomas Schweich.

This is the second oversized contribution to Schweich in as many days, following a $100,000 donation from Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder Friday. Kinder has contributed $220,000 to the Schweich campaign thus far.

Schweich is opposed by Rep. Allen Icet, R-Wildwood, in the Republican primary.
