Ron Richard contributes $10,000 to Catherine Hanaway campaign

Senate President Pro Tem Ron Richard, R-Joplin, contributed $10,000 to Catherine Hanaway's gubernatorial campaign, according to a 48-hour report filed Monday with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

Hanaway, who has received much of her financial support from retired billionaire Rex Sinquefield, is involved in a four-way primary race with Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, former Navy Seal Eric Greitens, and businessman John Brunner.

Hanaway is a former Speaker of the House and U. S. Attorney.
