Nearly all of Ed Emery's contributions come from Ameren, Centurytel

With no election coming up in 2014, the campaign committee for Sen. Ed Emery, R-Lamar, does not have to be working full steam ahead, so contributions totaling $6,550 during the last three months of 2013 is not a surprising total.

Of that total, Emery, a member of the Senate's Commerce, Consumer Protection, Energy, and the Environment Committee, received $6,000 from two companies which often have business before that committee.

Emery's quarterly disclosure report. filed Tuesday with the Missouri Ethics Commission shows the Ameren Missouri PAC gave $5,000, while Centurytel contributed $1,000.

Emery has $40,677.33 in his campaign account.
