A little bit of labor help (despite McGhee getting the AFL-CIO endorsement) and a number of individual contributions.
Campaign expenditures were for printing, signs, fundraising, and a campaign manager (!). The latter is a cost effective and smart move. It's a sign that Beth Grubb is quite serious about this race.
Mike McGhee filed his second quarter 2008 campaign finance report with the Missouri Ethics Commission on July 15th:
