Springfield Standard

Parson for Missouri, based in city within Polk County, was the only political committee in the county with expenses during the third quarter of 2023.

It spent $1,896 on seven vendors during the time period.

The largest expense was for Meals & Entertainment to Katie Goodpasture, which is based in Jackson.

What’s known as “dark money”, which comes from political non-profits and shell corporations, has greatly increased expenditures and donations in recent elections to record-breaking highs.

Political campaign financial data is often updated, leading to a sometimes incomplete picture of a committee or candidate's finances.
