ST. LOUIS – Margaret Donnelly’s campaign released the following statement regarding the Associated Press article that uncovered Chris Koster’s potential Missouri Ethics Commission violations.

Earlier in the week the Donnelly campaign remarked on how a staggering 81% of Koster’s campaign contributions came from the legislative committees. This new article now shines light on the fact that Koster may have illegally orchestrated the contributions using his campaign staff.

“This story raises serious questions and demands a thorough investigation. Candidates for Attorney General should be held to the highest, not the lowest, legal and ethical standard.” said Donnelly.

Donnelly spokesman Daniel Nava says “This does not come as a complete surprise. After all he trained under Republican Attorney General Bill Webster who went to prison over similar financial wrongdoing.”
