Following the Money: 136th Republican Primary

Incumbent B.J. Marsh (who got a gripe from GO magazine recently for his not-so-subtle signage at his home at National & Sunshine) kept his fundraising low-key in the last quarter: just $1,275 from April-June, none of whom live in his district. He already had $8,377.35 in the bank on April 1. He spent $5,024.19 on "marketing" and a repayment to the Missouri House Revolving Fund.

His challenger in the primary is former Springfield city councilman Bob Vanaman. He's also kept his fundraising low-key: $1,888.46 in the quarter from a handful of individuals. He spent $2,025 on at least one billboard on Kansas Expressway and $953.36 on postcards.
