Campaigncheck25

Here are the 10 political committees that received financial contributions during the week ending April 20, according to the Missouri Ethics Commission.

Missouri's Constitution doesn't impose limits for donation for local elections, but some local municipalities have enacted contribution limits.

Individuals donated more than $65 million to political causes in 2022, which is higher than the 2018 total for individuals during a year with a mid-term election.

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.

Despite this legislation, disclosures of political contributions can be unclear or murky due to gaps in information and misreporting.

Data about contributions during a month are often incomplete and updated at the end of the quarter.
