Las Vegas billionaire contributes $200,000 to Greitens campaign

Billionaire Sheldon Adelson, owner of the Venitian Hotel in Las Vegas, a favorite hangout of Seventh District Congressman Billy Long, now has another connection to Missouri politics.

Adelson joined the ranks of out-of-state money men pouring contributions into the gubernatorial campaign of former Navy Seal Eric Greitens.

Adelson contributed $200,000 to Greitens Thursday, according to a 48-hour report filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

The $200,000 contribution was not the biggest received by a Missouri politician Thursday, according to the Ethics Commission records.

Lieutenant governor candidate Bev Randles picked up a $300,000 contribution from Club for Growth, an organization funded by retired billionaire Rex Sinquefield.

    Wearing the Uniform should be the only qualification for public service, and not wearing the Uniform should be a disqualification for running for Office.
