Welcome!

Have you ever wondered where our candidates get their money? How can they afford to campaign? Where are they spending their money? Well, in the next few months we’re going to try our best to answer these questions and more. We think it’s important to study how a candidate is receiving money and support and from whom. It helps better define who the candidate is and how he or she feels about certain issues.

Our plan is to each week look at advocacy groups, third party organizations, and PAC’s to identify how these parties influence candidates and you—the voter. 

Now, if you’re interested in following groups supporting Democrat candidates, our classmates Carrie Nelson and Adam Schmid have a blog that matches our mission, MO Funds, MO Votes, but for the opposing party. Check them out under our helpful links section!

We appreciate you reading and learning with us and hope you get something out of it. Check us out soon, expect new updates every Monday and Thursday evenings through the election. Coming soon: Blaine Luetkemeyer, U.S. Representative in District 9, and his financial supporters for the 2010 campaign!
