We don't know who is giving money to Jeff Flowers

If you have not read the earlier Turner Report post detailing who gave money to the powerful Joplin Progress Committee, you would only know who gave Joplin R-8 Board of Education President Jeff Flowers $200 out of the $2,240 he has received.

That is all of the information provided in the 40-days-before-election report filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

The Joplin Progress Committee provided Flowers with $1,000 of that, while Judy Priddy, Joplin, gave $200.

The rest of the money, $1,040, came from unnamed persons who gave Flowers less than $100 apiece, according to the disclosure document. The law does not require that each of those people be listed, but most candidates in local level races do so.
