PrintWhile State Auditor Claire McCaskill led gubernatorial hopefuls in money raised in the most recent reporting period, Gov. Bob Holden maintained the lead in total money and Secretary of State Matt Blunt has the most money on hand, according to campaign finance reports filed Monday.
The “Eight Day Before Election Report” was required of all candidates as the Aug. 3 primary elections approach.
Ken Jacob raised the most this period in the race for lieutenant governor. He earned more than twice as much this period as Bekki Cook, his fellow competitor for the Democratic nomination, but the difference between their current overall accounts is less than $350.
In the secretary of state race, though Democrat Robin Carnahan raised $20,000 more than probable November opponent Catherine Hanaway this period, the two are nearly tied in their present campaign holdings.
In the state treasurer race, Blaine Luetkemeyer more than doubled his overall receipts after receiving a loan for $224,000. He still trails fellow Republicans Will Pundmann and Sarah Steelman in money on hand.
The period in which contributions were tallied for the report was from July 1 to July 22.
Campaign finance reports
Despite the fact the reports were due Monday, not all figures for the candidates were available at press time. The figures were rounded to the nearest dollar.
