Campaign contributors pay $600 for what appears to be Ben Baker lifetime NRA membership

Campaign contributors paid $600 for what appears to be a lifetime NRA membership for freshman representative Ben Baker, R-Neosho, according to Baker's quarterly financial report filed Monday with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

While NRA lifetime memberships are officially $1,500, the organization has offered numerous $600 specials over the past couple of years.

The campaign report also showed the former Neosho mayor received $250 in contributions, all from the XCaliber PAC of Pryor, Oklahoma, a tobacco company.

Baker spent $4,891.34, leaving him with $3,595.25 in the bank.
