Attorney and former state Sen. Scott Sifton of Afton reported raising $302,088 since forming his campaign committee in February and he had $145,955 on hand as of March 31, a report filed Thursday with the Federal Election Commission shows.
Marine Corps veteran and attorney Lucas Kunce of Independence has been almost as successful, taking in $280,990 since his campaign committee formed in early March. Kunce spent less than Sifton, leaving him with $194,015 on hand at the end of the first quarter.

“The political reality on the ground here in Missouri is that if Republicans want to run the risk of losing this seat, then there’s a real possibility for that if Eric Greitens were to win the primary,” said Gregg Keller, a Missouri-based Republican strategist.
