| Description | Two Jefferson County candidates have set a state record for spending in a Missouri Senate race by shelling out nearly $600,000 in the contest so far.
That amount doesn't include the independent spending by Missouri's two major political parties on behalf of Republican Bill Alter and Democrat Rick Johnson, both of High Ridge.
-----------
Alter reports raising $284,950, spending $379,242, with $39,645 on hand, and a debt of $189,797. He has spent close to $300,000 so far on TV ads.
On the Democratic side, St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, state Auditor Claire McCaskill and Secretary of State Robin Carnahan are among the latest donors to Johnson. Each gave the maximum $600.
Johnson reported raising $292,343, spending $203,323, with $88,470 on hand and no debts. So far, Johnson has spent no money on TV ads. |
