The expenses were revealed in the National Association of Realtors' March 27 filing with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
The report says the NAR paid $11,898.26 to Access Marketing, Denver, Colorado, mail, online ads, and phone calls on March 27 for Gander's campaign and the same amount for Gould's.
NAR also paid $732.91 March 22 for "polling and consulting expenses," for both Gander and Gould, according to the report.
While this appears to be the first time that the National Association of Realtors has become involved in a Joplin race, the Missouri Realtors PAC spent $5,
None of the five board candidates have filed papers to form a campaign committee, indicating that they are spending less than $1,000.
They are not required to file anything regarding independent expenditures made on their behalf as long as those are not in done in coordination with their campaigns.

So much money for a school board election ! These are crazy times we live in -----
Seriously , mailers and calls and polls / this isn't the presidential election
Follow the money .... why would Gander get so much? who would want to give him that much ? What's the payoff ?
This is interesting. What do these people expect to get for their $$$$? What do they think they are buying?
Maybe Gander should put his money where his mouth is - be transparent about this money
But he won't because he is shady
What if they held an election and nobody came?
Anonymous who posted at 4:50. How do you know he is shady? Do you know him personally?
So how is asking for money not coordination?
Gander got all that money in advertisement and still came in third - to a guy who spent less
Goes to show you money can't buy class although it will buy you a seat on a schoolboard
