Humphreys not making political contributions this year, says nation too divided, now is time we should all come together

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Joplin businessman David Humphreys, president and CEO of TAMKO Building Products, will not be making political contributions this year.

Humphreys has been a major contributor to Republican candidates over the year.

“During the pandemic and economic crisis, David’s full-time attention and resources have been focused on his business and helping his community and charities that he and his family support,” said Kim Eckerman, communications chief for TAMKO Building Products, a roofing material business that Humphreys owns.

In addition, Eckerman said Humphreys, who did not support President Donald Trump’s 2016 election, said the nation is too divided.

“He also believes that now is a time we should all come together. Accordingly, he is not allocating resources to the presidential or state political campaigns,” she said.
