School Board October Campaign Finance Reports

Only two of five candidates for St. Louis City School Board on November 8th ballot formed campaign finance committees and filed October finance reports with Missouri Ethics Commission.

Donna Jones raised $2,200 including $2,000 from AFT Local 420 and $200 from St. Louis City Labor Legislative Club; spent $28.10; has $2,171.90 on hand; $0 debt.

Emily Hubbard raised $3,095* including $2,000 from AFT Local 420; spent $1,448; has $1,646.12 on hand; $0 debt.

The other School Board candidates- David Jackson, Bill Monroe, and J.L. Quinones- did not form candidate committees. Missouri law requires candidate committees be formed by the thirtieth day before election if any of the following happens:

Candidate receives more than $325 from a single contributor (other than the candidate)
Candidate spends over $1,000 of their own money
Candidate’s contributions and expenditures are over $1,000

More information on the candidates.
