Blaine Luetkemeyer

U.S. Representative, Blaine Luetkemeyer, represents 25 counties in the 9th district of Missouri.  He has no opponents for the 2010 election.  The district that he covers can be seen on the map below!
We’re going to split the information we have on Luetkemeyer into a few blogging sessions. For a look at Luetkemeyer's complete campain finance breakdown, check out opensecrets.org!
For the 2010 campaign, Luetkemeyer has received $393,054 in PACs from 289 different contributors.    
We want to take a closer look at the PACs that have donated money to his campaign.  He has received donations from a number of PACs and a list of them can be found on the opensecrets.org website.
The Eagle Forum is one PAC that has contributed to his campaign.  Phyllis Schlafly is the leader of this conservative organization that supports candidates that will enact their same values; Luetkemeyer votes in line with many of The Eagle Forum's conservative values.
The Eagle Forum is just one of several organizations that endorse Luetkemeyer.  Endorsers not only contribute monetarily to a campaign, but encourage members to vote for a specific candidate.  Endorsers will support candidates that enforce the values of the organization.
