In Senate race full of millionaires, Missouri must wait to see finances of newest entrant
There are several millionaires seeking Missouri’s open U.S. Senate seat, financial disclosure reports show. But voters won’t see the finances of the only likely billionaire in the race until July.
Trudy Busch Valentine, a Democrat and Anheuser Busch beer heiress who jumped into the race during the final days of filing, on Monday filed for a 48-day extension of the May 15 deadline for reporting her personal financial data.
Other candidates have previously been granted extensions. Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt, for example, filed Tuesday for an extension for what will be his second disclosure report and also received an extension for his initial filing last year.
But Valentine will be the last candidate to file at least one disclosure report, delaying until July 3 when voters will get a glimpse into her potential to self fund her campaign. An extension can be for up to 90 days, but it is due on that date because it must be submitted at least 30 days before the Aug. 2 primary.
