State Auditor's Race

She's Back. Is Sandra Thomas Really That Desperate For Attention?

Submitted by Sherlock on Mon, 06/25/2007 - 9:05am.

That's right, folks.  Sandra Thomas has re-filed her committee and is actively preparing for a rematch...in 2010...against Susan Montee...an election where she got 43% of the vote.  I promise you that I am not making this up.  Check out her statement of committee organization filed with the Ethics Commission (pdf). 

As I think about the ramifications of another Thomas run, it makes me smile a bit.  Story Continued »

Matt Blunt; Dignified You are Not.

Submitted by Sherlock on Mon, 01/08/2007 - 5:04pm.

In a blatant slap in the face to new Auditor Susan Montee, Matt Blunt failed to present himself at her inauguration this afternoon. It is a real shame that the governor has chosen to start his reationship with the State Auditor in such a negative way. As I watched the ceremony, I was huimbled to see Susan show such respect for her new office and our state, and it reminded me of the true reason that most people seek public office; the chance to do good by the people and give something back to a state that has given so much to us.


Beyond all the partisian bickering and overt political maneuvers, public service is somthing to be revered. Susan brought in a true breath of fresh air with her family and priest by her side as she talked about sitting in her office looking at the pictures of those Auditors that have come before her. It was clear how much she cherishes the history of the Auditor's office and is humbled by those she seeks to replace.

Congratulations Susan Montee

Submitted by Sherlock on Tue, 01/02/2007 - 8:47pm.

In a rather classy move today, Matt Blunt announced that he would appoint Susan Montee to start the Auditor's job early, as Claire McCaskill is required to resign in order to be sworn in to the Senate on Thursday. Montee officially gets sworn in next week, and Blunt could have left the office vacant or setup a friend to make a few quick bucks for the week.

Good Luck, Susan. We know you'll be great

Every Vote will Count

Submitted by travis reems on Sat, 11/04/2006 - 2:04pm.
In my recent poll, there are of the 37 voters at the time of this writing, 26 voting mostly or completely Democratic, 7 voting mostly or completely Republican, and 1 voting evenly split. What is most worrisome, though, are the 3 voters that are either undecided or will not be voting on Tuesday....<continue reading>

Thomas Prediction: Blunt Won't Be Governor In Two Years

Submitted by Roy Temple on Fri, 10/27/2006 - 12:54pm.

Governor Matt Blunt had better hope that Sandra Thomas' predictions aren't any better than her accounting skills, because yesterday, on St. Joe radio, Thomas predicted that Blunt won't be Governor in two years.

Submitted by Roy Temple on Fri, 10/27/2006 - 12:47pm.

Here is what Thomas said on the radio about the outside auditor's findings.

Does Sandra Thomas Have Any Character?

Submitted by Roy Temple on Sat, 09/09/2006 - 6:25am.

Does Sandra Thomas have any character whatsoever? Well, we're about to find out. Because how she handles the scandal that erupted after a report on the Arch City Chronicle yesterday, will tell us a lot.

First, her campaign gets caught misusing state resources on behalf of her campaign, and now her campaign operatives are concocting far-fetched conspiracy theories rather than taking responsibility. From Mannies:

Whoops Is Right: Thomas Campaign Misusing State Resources

Submitted by Roy Temple on Fri, 09/08/2006 - 7:47am.

So if Sandra Thomas were State Auditor and someone was using state resources for political purposes, do you think she would take that seriously?

Given this from the Arch City Chronicle, I doubt it.

You see, the press release the Thomas campaign put out yesterday was actually prepared by Daryl Duwe on a State Senate computer.

Hat tip to Combest for the release.

Donors Rejecting Thomas: Imcompetence Concerns Loom Large

Submitted by Roy Temple on Fri, 09/08/2006 - 7:24am.

Sources tell Fired Up! that GOP State Auditor candidate Sandra Thomas is trying to weasel out of the joint appearance at the Missouri Press Association. I certainly hope the editorial boards won't put up with that.

In related news, the latest quarterly fundraising numbers are in for the State Auditor's race, and the results weren't pretty for Sandra Thomas.

Here's the release from the Montee campaign:

MONTEE RAISES $109,944; THOMAS, $64,760

SAINT JOSEPH – In reports filed this week with the Missouri Ethics Commission, Democratic State Auditor candidate Susan Montee reported raising $109,944.19 between July 28th and September 2nd. Republican Sandra Thomas reported raising $64,760 during the same period.

“We are proud to have raised so much money from so many individuals,” Montee Campaign Manager Sean Spence said. “Unfortunately for Sandra Thomas, individual donors are showing very little faith in her candidacy. Sandra Thomas' lack of support can be directly attributed to fears Missourians have about her competence and ability to be the state's financial watchdog.
