Shamed Dogan, Republican candidate for State Representative in Missouri’s 88th District, announced Monday that his 3rd quarter financial report will show that his supporters contributed $12,494* to promote a fresh conservative face for the Missouri Republican Party. The campaign ended its first quarter of fundraising with more than $10,000 cash on hand.
“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.”
The campaign reported contributions from several elected officials: State Representatives 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.
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.
Dogan graduated from Yale University in 2000 and served as a legislative assistant for Senator Jim Talent for three years. Dogan was recently named “Man of the Year” by the St. Louis Area Young Republicans as well as one of the St. Louis Business Journal’s 30 Under 30. He currently works for the Regional Business Council and is a member of the St. Louis Area Young Republicans, the West County Jaycees, and the Urban League Young Professionals. He lives in Ballwin with his wife, Sara.
* From 2002-2006, successful candidates in open seat races in suburban St. Louis and Kansas City districts raised an average of approximately $38,000 for the entire campaign. Dogan is on pace to raise over $55,000 before the August 2008 primary and nearly $70,000 for the entire campaign.
