Who’s leading the fundraising battle in Missouri’s US Senate race?

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt has four times more money than his Democratic opponent, Trudy Busch Valentine, heading into the final month of the U.S. Senate campaign.

According to the reports filed with the Federal Election Commission on Saturday, Schmitt had $1.2 million in his campaign account while Busch Valentine had $349,513, as of the end of the Sept. 30 reporting period.

That might not be much of an issue for Busch Valentine, who is a member of the family that once owned Annheuser-Busch and has proven she’s willing to put her own money into the campaign. Busch Valentine loaned $5.35 million of her own money into the campaign through the primary and shortly after, she loaned another $1 million to the campaign.
