Shamed Dogan, Republican candidate for State Representative in Missouri's 88th District, announced Monday that his 3rd quarter financial report will show that he raised over $12,000 from 125 different contributors, including State Reps Jane Cunningham (R-Chesterfield), Tim Jones (R-Eureka) and Rick Stream (R-Kirkwood); four of Ballwin's eight Aldermen—Tim Pogue, Jim Robinson, Jane Suozzi and Jimmy Terbrock; St. Louis County Councilwoman Colleen Wasinger; St. Louis City Alderwoman Kacie Starr Triplett; and Ferguson Alderman James Knowles. Labels: 2008, Republicans
From the press release:"I appreciate the help I've received from my family, friends, and concerned citizens who share my vision for a smaller, better Missouri government," Dogan said. "I am also very thankful to Jim Talent for being a supporter and a role model."
Here's our earlier video from Shamed Dogan's campaign kick-off in July:
Dogan also received contributions from prominent Republicans including former State Rep. Brent Evans; Ray Wagner of Enterprise Rent-A-Car; Missouri Federation of Young Republicans Chair Monica Durrwachter; St. Louis County Republican Committeeman Kurt Witzel; and St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Dwight Billingsly.

So let me get this straight, Kacie Starr Triplett is giving money to Republicans. Wasn't this the whole basis of her campaign? I don't live in the 6th so I really don't care but isn't this a wee bit hypocritical to her campaign message. I guess as long as you are in a political family it's all ok.

That just shows that Kacie is not one sided. She goes with the person not the party. More people should be like her. Kudos to Kacie for stepping up to the plate in a time of need for the city!

A better comment is...Was that Sherman Parker in the video? Has he gained weight?

Call me naive, but maybe Kacie gave him money more-so because of his race than his party.........because in all actually that seat is not really in play for a Dem to take.

Again with the race card..Look I am black. I dont live in the city, however everything that happens is not related to race. What is up guys? Must be an age thing. Im in my thirties and yes, we have racism here - but dang that is just life. There is also prejudice against fat people, short people, gay people etc.
Dont bring up race so much. It makes others think we're pulling the race card all the time.
