This is another update to Sinquefields Donate to Nexus PAC. Again dated 09/23/2025
Early in April, Nexus PAC gave another $2,000 to St. Louis City Board of Alders President Megan Green’s Progress PAC and $1,000 to MAGA Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins. But that isn’t the biggest news.
Nexus PAC received another $65,000 from billionaire Rex Sinquefield on June 18th. He used his 1,700 acre estate address in Westphalia, Osage County, Missouri, not his St. Louis City 8,320-square-foot mansion in Central West End address.
The day before the Sinquefield donation, Sinquefield aide Mary Ellen Ponder, former St. Louis City Mayor Francis Slay’s chief of staff, filed Missouri Future LLC with Missouri Ethics Commission for purposes of making campaign contributions.
Under Missouri law, LLCs must register with MEC before making campaign contributions.
Missouri Future is Sinquefield’s current stable of 27 lobbyists. Lobbying firms working for Sinquefield include Nexus Group, owner of Nexus PAC, Axiom Strategies, AxAdvocacy, First Capitol Advisors, Gamble & Schlemeier, Catalyst Group, Patek and Associates, The SwainGroup. These governmental relations firms include some of the most powerful former elected officials and most powerful names in lobbying at the State Capitol and local government halls.
Political Action Committees are legal money laundering organizations in Missouri. They are subject to limits on contributions to candidates but can and do spend unlimited amounts on Direct Expenditures (mailings, polling, media buys) that benefit candidates, have no limits on contributing or spending for ballot issues, and donate unlimited amounts to other PACs.
The Treasurer for Nexus PAC is attorney Matthew McBride. McBride also sits on a number of economic development boards for the City of St. Louis. He chairs the St. Louis City Port Authority Commission and also serves on the City’s St. Louis Development Corporation Board, Enhanced Enterprise Zone Board, Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority, Planned Industrial Expansion Authority.
Nexus PAC has great influence over elected officials in St. Louis City and across Missouri, tho not as much as 21st Century St. Louis PAC owned Greater St. Louis.
