The first check came when Sinquefield had business with the office. Sinquefield supported a statewide ballot initiative called "Better Together" to combine St. Louis City and County and eliminate a tax that Sinquefield has tried for years to get rid of.
The Attorney General had to approve the ballot language. The language came with a check of $250,000 to the Attorney General's PAC.
The second check came right after we announced that we were smashing grassroots fundraising records two quarters ago.
The third came after we did it again this last quarter.
Who gives $750,000 to an Attorney General campaign? Someone with a whole lot to gain, and someone who thinks they're about to lose.
For years, these big money donors knew they could win. The fight was money against money, and they always had more.
What they didn't expect was someone to change the game, to hold over 360 meetings in a year, to fight back with People.
We're doing something unprecedented in Missouri. You know we can't do it alone.
Can you ask 5 friends to donate this week? It doesn't have to be much.
When you do, I get to call your friends and say thanks, and ask them for their ideas for Missouri, and maybe they'll call five more people, and, when all the calls are done and all the doors are knocked and all the votes are counted, we'll have an Attorney General who actually represents us.
Press the button and send the donation page to 5 people.
