Republican Mike Cierpiot hangs on to win KC area seat in Missouri Senate
Source: Kansas City Star
Cierpiot reported spending $353,000 in October, including $150,000 on television ads, $90,000 on mailers and $40,000 on polling.
He was aided by the Missouri Senate Campaign Committee, which works to elect Republicans to the state Senate. That organization spent $300,000 on television ads boosting Cierpiot and attacking Shields.
And a political action committee connected to a nonprofit called Missouri Alliance for Freedom spent $110,000 on a controversial TV ad attacking Shields. The ad in question erroneously claimed Shields never called for the removal of a St. Louis County legislator who earlier this year said she hoped President Donald Trump would be assassinated.
Shields spent only $48,000 in October, mostly on mailers. Turk reported no spending at all.
