He is a hardworking person who will make a great Congressman.

Doesn’t he still owe his failed treasurer’s campaign $500,000? How can we expect him to manage our tax dollars properly when he can’t manage his own campaign finances?

Is still going to be paid to be the Tourism Director? Did he go to Moberly on Tourism funds? Someone should check that out. Hint, hint.

And if he did pay off the $500,000 debt how did he do it? Did he use his job connections to the Tourism industry to pay off his bad debt?

I don’t know Luetkemeyer, but I can tell that he will be among the top tier of the Republican hopefuls. In the Treasurer’s contest alluded to by commenters above, Luetkemeyer ran a surprisingly competitive race against the heavily favored (and ultimately successful) Sarah Steelman, running well ahead of well-funded St Louisans Tom Klein and Sen. Anita Yeckel. I think the flack that he has taken in Comments 2 and 3 above (and maybe others yet to come) is a testament that opponents regard Luetkemeyer as a serious contender.

This contest remains wide-open in both major parties. It should be interesting.

Sounds like 2 and 3 might be dome dwellers.

Maybe you should check the MO Ethics website before you post- don’t assume you know the facts.

Mr. Luetkemeyer self funded his treasure’s campign according to the ethics reports he filed. It also showed that the statewide accountant was clonsed at the begenning of 2005. so how do you come across with him still owing money and trying to say that he had the state pay for his trip to moberly?
