Here are the four political committees that received money from contributions during the week ending Oct. 8, according to the Missouri Ethics Commission.
Donations made to political groups or candidates must be disclosed under state law for greater transparency in elections. While Congress created the Federal Election Commission to oversee federal elections in 1974, each state is left to regulate its local elections.
Data about contributions during a week are often incomplete and updated at the end of the quarter.
| Committee | Amount | Average contribution amount |
|---|---|---|
| Coatar for St. Louis | $23,950 | $921 |
| Megan Green for the 15th Ward | $6,329 | $171 |
| Missouri Progressive Action Group | $500 | $500 |
| Sam Bushman for Presiding Commissioner | $100 | $100 |
