Republican State Sen. Norma Champion's campaign is touting her third quarter fundraising report while taking aim at her Democratic opponent Doug Harpool and his contributors, in a new press release.
The Headline: "Springfield Voters Support Champion, Big City Liberals Prop Up Harpool."
According to third quarter fundraising numbers, Champion's political committee showed $58,324 in contributions "from Springfield families and businesspeople." Champion reports $199,881 cash on hand.
"Candidate Harpool raised less than half the amount Senator Champion's campaign did, accepting more than $15,000 from liberal and special interest groups whose values are out of line with Springfield families, including NARAL and Missourians for Choice. And Harpool has aligned himself with big city union bosses by accepting large amount from unions in Kansas City and St. Louis," blasts the release from Champion aide Mike Barnett.
"Doug Harpool continues to prove that his liberal stances are inconsistent with Southwest Missouri values by accepting money from pro-abortion groups and big city liberals," Barnett added.

"Champion's political committee showed $58,324 in contributions 'from Springfield families and business people.'"
I don't usually do this, but this number struck me as awfully high. I went and downloader her ethics report for the third quarter.
Almost HALF of her contributions ($32,894.99) were from PACs, candidate committees, Republican party committees and individuals who DO NOT live in Springfield.
6 contributions were from the same PAC with different regions (MHA KC, MHA NW, MHA Central, MHA SE, MHA SW). These all came from the same PO box in Jefferson City.
Her biggest contributor was the 7th District Congressional Republican Committee which gave her $6400.00.
Other notable high contributors include the 31sts Republican Sentatorial Committee in Raymore, MO which gave her $1800.00. The Missouri leadership fund gave her $600. Nodler Leadership PAC gave her $600. Missouri GOPAC gave her $650. Jay Wasson gave her $600. Citizens for Brad Leger gave her $650.
She returned a contribution from the SDC BACPAC. Beer, gambling, alcohol?
Several contributions from Springfield showed different businesses at the same address.
The following PACs gave her money
MHA KC PAC
MHA NW PAC

Her news release states that her 3rd quarter contributions,$58,324, came from Springfield. In the report she is required by law to file with the ethics commission and which she signed, she states that $32,894.99 DID NOT come from Springfield.
