    July 21: More Endorsements, Campaign Reports Filed

    I am proud to say that education endorsements just keep coming in for my reelection campaign. Here are some of the most recent:

    Teachers choose Burnett

    I am proud that education groups have all chosen to endorse me in my bid for reelection to my fourth and final term in the Missouri House.

    The largest group, the
    Missouri National Education Association, led the way. Here is the link to the full endorsement list.

    Campaign Finance Reports filed - Burnett leading on paper

    The Burnett campaign filed the required report this week with the Missouri Ethics Commission showing who donated and how the money was spent. The report showed Burnett raised $40,720 this quarter. Added to the previous balance the total thus far is $60,600. This puts the campaign within striking distance of reaching the budget set for the race.

    Over 200 individuals contributed to the total. This includes $2,960 from 16 online donors through the Democratic fundraising website
    Act Blue. Here is the link to contribute online:

    My opponent reported $975 total contributions and an $18,000 loan from himself. Rizzo's contributors included two local lawyers and a construction company owner. In the past two challenges virtually all the Rizzo campaign money has come from personal loans that are then forgiven after the race so it is difficult to gauge how much money will be spent until it happens.

    Pro-Vote Coalition Group rates Burnett 100%
