Downtown Alders Get More Money From Nexus PAC

Man with giant green money bag

And by money, most likely developer money.

This is another update to Sinquefields Donate to Nexus PAC. Again about contributions to and from Nexus PAC, the legal money laundry for Nexus Group lobbyists.

Campaign reports this year for Nexus PAC have had some surprises.

February 24, 2026, Nexus PAC received $10,000 from DeepRun Inc owned by developer P. Joseph McKee III, Paric owner and son of deadbeat developer Paul McKee. Who this money was earmarked for remains a mystery to me.

You can see all the PAC’s donors and contributions to electeds in St. Louis City and across Missouri here in the ongoing list on this blog.

Nexus PAC donated to a federal candidate, $1,000 to the Gentleman from AIPAC, Congressman Wesley Bell; a county elected in the City, $500 to Recorder of Deeds Michael Butler, who allegedly isn’t even running anymore; and $500 to Lebanon City Council candidate Jaret Scharnhorst, former staffer for State Senator Mary Elizabeth Coleman.

Legally laundering money to state legislators across Missouri and St. Louis City Alders who rubberstamp developments and incentives, now that’s what we’ve come to expect from Nexus PAC.

The PAC donated to nine state legislators in January 2026. That money might have come from the $10,000 given to the PAC from Shelter Insurance, Columbia, in January.

As for Alders, on February 13 and 23, 2026, developer McCormack Baron Salazar made two $1,000 donations to Nexus PAC.

March 19th, Nexus PAC gave $500 to St. Louis City Alder Jami Cox Antwi and five days later $500 to St. Louis City Alder Rasheen Aldridge, both Alders for Downtown.

April 9th, the City’s Industrial Development Authority approved $32 Million in Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds for a McCormack Baron Salazar project in Aldridge’s ward with his support.

All just coincidence.
