Columbia State Rep. Jeff Harris had the broadest financial support among individuals in Southwest Missouri of the three Democratic candidates for Attorney General during the last three months of fundraising.
An analysis of the third quarter reports of Attorney General candidates Harris, Rep. Margaret Donnelly and Sen. Chris Koster shows that while Koster netted the most money locally, Harris acquired the greatest number of contributions from the Ozarks region.
Harris raised $7,045 dollars from 16 Ozarks donors during the third quarter, with contributions from Joplin to Monett to Neosho. #135th District legislative candidate Nancy Hagan gave Harris $220. Hagan plans to run again against Rep. Charlie Denison. Former #136th District legislative candidate and attorney James Owen gave Harris $150. It's unclear if Owen will take another shot at what will be an open #136th district seat in 2008. Springfield attorney Sam Hamra and Democratic activist Bobbie Lurie also donated to the Harris campaign.
Sen. Chris Koster raised $16,950 in the Ozarks region -- but most of that came from the #135 Democratic Committee in Springfield, which lists a contribution of $11,700. The Springfield Building and Construction Tracks PAC gave Koster $1200. The Missouri Drive Fund in Springfield donated $1275 to Koster.
Rep. Donnelly, who has been endorsed by Springfield lawmaker Sara Lampe, scored only six donors from the Ozarks region. Most of her money came from her hometown St. Louis region. A JAC PAC out of Rolla gave Donnelly $500. Integrity Home Care in Springfield contributed $250 to Donnelly.

The JACPAC is Jean Carnahan's political action committee.
