Humphreys gives quarter of a million to Lager challenge to Kinder

Sen. Brad Lager's campaign for a lieutenant governor received a significant boost today, thanks to David Humphreys of Joplin's TAMKO.

Humphreys (pictured), who was critical of Lager's opponent incumbent Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder after news surfaced of photos of Kinder with an exotic dancer, gave $250,000 to the Lager campaign, according to a 48-hour report filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

Humphreys, who had contributed million to Republican candidates, had given $165,000 to Kinder during this election cycle, but asked to have his money returned after news of Kinder's cavorting with former Penthouse Pet Tammy Chapman at a bar known for "pantless parties" came to light.
